Instructions

1
To begin making Ambade Kaarle Lonche method, scrape the outer layer of puckerish gourd well, sanitize the seeds if they are not succulent.
2
Chop each puckerish gourd lengthwise to 2 inch long strips, apply some table salt (I used 1/4 teaspoon) and keep it away for an hour to reduce the bitterness.After an hour, squeeze away excess moisture from the puckerish gourds after washing them.
3
This will remove most of the bitterness the gourd has.swirl around shallow fry these drained puckerish gourds in a kadai with a bit of cooking oil till softened.
4
Keep aside.toasty cooking oil in a heavy bottomed cooking vessel/kadhai, introduce mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.

Once spluttered, immediately introduce all the items required under tempering - fenugreek, green chillies, Irani hing and saute a bit.swirl around on low toasty, introduce turmeric dusting seasoning, ambade- hog plums and toss together well.
6
Take care that the tempering is right and not any burnt.introduce enough moisture to toasty ambade (I added 4 tablespoons) and on medium toasty, bring to bring to a stew.
7
Reduce toasty when it starts boiling.
8
wrap and toasty till the ambade / hog plum are cooked.Now introduce the swirl around fried puckerish gourd strips, jaggery and table salt and toasty till jaggery melts.
9
Now introduce 1 or 2 tablespoons of moisture as per requirement, else the jaggery will stiffen when cooled.
10
Transfer to a jar after it is cooled to room temperature.present Ambade Kaarle Lonche method as an accompaniment with a meal of Steamed Rice, Karwar Style Muga Ambat method, and Puri method (Puffed Fried Indian Bread).
