2. Now, add the yellow moong dal and fry it until light brown in colour. If you want to add tomato, you can add it now and sauté everything well. However, I did not use tomato on my recipe.
3. Pour the grated bottle gourd into the pan. Add turmeric powder, salt and green chillies and mix everything well.
