Add a comment nishithn (signed in using yahoo) Your recipe says "200 gms bottle gourd (doodhi / lauki) , cut into pieces" , under Ingredients. Whereas, your 'Method' suggests "Boil the pumpkin with the drumsticks....." So I'm guessing it's actually 'Pumpkin' and NOT Bottle Gourd, that's what I've had at most places. None the less, interesting recipe.
