Bottle gourd gravy

Today's recipe of our home , rava idly,  parotta ( ID parotta), bottle gourd gravy.... This gravy is perfect combo for Parottas...

Since we went for shopping yesterday, my kids automatically picked up the ID parotta packets so that I may prepare them today... I mostly avoid noodles and readymade items... But occasionally not able to avoid it due to desire of kids... That ID parottas becoming famous and it is very nice and tasty too, preparation cost is very less when compared to hotel parottas.. So if you arrange a party in home, sure you can buy this and present to the guests, in no minute you can prepare this...

About this surrakkai gravy, I saw this recipein a magazine, since I love any recipe with surakkai, I tried this... But when seeing that photo in that magazine I got doubt, no tomatoes or chilli powder added, curd, fresh creams are added but how they got soo attractive red colour, I thought probably in hotels and for publishing in books, to make it Moore attractive they are adding red colour, otherwise this recipe has not chance to get red colour...
