Steps for cooking,

Step 1:
Slice each pointed gourd lengthwise into four pieces. Rinse them gently and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2:
Heat mustard oil in a nonstick pan. Once the oil is hot, add the grated ginger and slit green chillies. Sauté until the raw aroma of ginger disappears.

Step 3:
Add the sliced gourd and sauté for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the salt at this stage and mix well. Cover the pan and cook on medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the gourd turns soft and is almost cooked through.

Step 4:
Once the gourd is around ninety percent cooked, add the paneer cubes, coconut, and jaggery or sugar. Give everything a gentle mix. Cover once again and cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve warm with plain rice or as a light side dish with your everyday meal.
