Sorakaya palu kura recipe, Bottle gourd milk curry (with video)

Sorakaya palu kura/ Bottle gourd milk curry is a very delicious recipe packed with health. Sorakaya palu kura is prepared by cooking bottlegourd/ sorkaya without adding water and its taste is enhanced by adding milk as final step as the name goes. This recipe uses only green chilli for spiciness and also involves very basic ingredients to make it delicious. I got to know about this recipe from my neighbor post pregnancy (one good soul who took care of my baby after my delivery) and from that day I have no idea as to how many times I made this curry at home. She taught me 2 recipes with bottle gourd, since my friends requested to show curry recipe I thought to share this first. This simple and easy curry goes well with rice, roti or chapati and is a very healthy and yummy one. BELOW IS THE MAKING VIDEO OF SORAKAYA PALU KURA TO MAKE IT EASY FOR BEGINNERS. So lets get to the making!
