Ash Gourd, also known as winter melon or “petha” in Hindi, is a versatile vegetable widely used in Indian cuisine, particularly in North and South Indian dishes.

I often cook “Ash Gourd Sabji” with a generous amount of garlic paste and lavishly used oil, transforms into a rich and flavourful dish that elevates the natural mildness of the vegetable. The garlic paste adds aromatic element, infusing the ash gourd that makes the sabji incredibly satisfying. The oil not only enhances the texture, making it silky and luscious, but also helps in fully bringing out the richness of the spices used. This version of ash gourd sabji is hearty and indulgent, perfect for those who enjoy a bold and flavourful twist on traditional recipes
