This is a dish I saw at our table more often that I wished for it to be there. A favorite of my grandmother. It was made almost daily. It also grows in abundance. Is as local as local can be. It defines the epitome of what it means to be local and sustainable. Vegetables that grow together should stay together. Both bottlegourd and tomatoes grow in abundance. No wonder that this dish was abundant at our table.
Make this your foundation and add to it as you wish. This is a basic form that is wonderful as a side dish. Light and flavorful. A wonderful contrast to other richer flavors.
