Wash , peel and chop the bottle gourd into small cubes.
Heat ghee or oil in a pressure cooker (you can also cook it in a pan instead of cooker , in that case add little extra water )
Add cumin seeds in ghee and when it start to crackle add asafoetida, curry leaves and green chilies and stir to mix.
Adjust the quantity of green chilies as per your taste .
Add the chopped bottle gourd ,salt and 1/4 cup water and stir to mix.
Close the lid and pressure cook on medium heat for 3 whistles or till done.
When the pressure subsides then open the lid and check it is done perfectly or not else give it few more whistles.
Now add pinch of sugar, beaten curd and the chopped ginger in the cooker and give it a boil and keep stirring to avoid curdling of curd.
After it start boiling simmer for a minute or 2.
Switch off the heat and then add chopped fresh coriander and lemon juice.
