Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Snake Gourd

   Take a 250g tender snake gourd and peel off the outer skin using a knife. Cut it in half lengthwise, then remove the seeds and the spongy interior. Cut the snake gourd into thin, semi-circular slices. Wash and rinse the sliced snake gourd and place it in a cooking pot.

2. 2.Combine Ingredients

   To the pot with the sliced snake gourd, add 1/2 sliced B onion, 2 sliced green chilies, 1 tbsp of sliced garlic, a sprig of curry leaves and pandan leaves, 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds, 1/2 tsp curry powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, salt to taste, and 1 cinnamon stick. Mix all the ingredients together well.

3. 3.First Cook

   Pour in 1/2 cup of thin coconut milk. Place the pot on the stove, cover with a lid, and cook over a medium flame for 3-5 minutes until the snake gourd is partially cooked.

4. 4.Add Thick Coconut Milk

   After 3-5 minutes, remove the lid and give it a stir. Pour in 1/4 cup of thick coconut milk and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens slightly.

5. 5.Garnish and Serve

   Turn off the heat and sprinkle some crushed mustard seeds over the curry. The snake gourd curry is now ready to be served.
