Clean the bottle gourd nicely with lukewarm salted water and then wipe it dry.

With a knife take out thick peels in thick strips (around 2 -3 cms), which means you also will have some white portion from the bottle gourd apart from the light green peel.

Now cut them into thin slices and keep is aside. Now peel potatoes and cut in thin slices too.

Heat oil and add cumin seeds and sliced onions and caramelize and then add ginger and garlic.

Now add tomatoes and salt, turmeric,cumin powder, coriander powder and cook well.

Gradually add the thin strips or slices of bottlegourd/lauki chilka/peels along with potatoes.

Add salt and cover it and cook till potatoes are done.

Now add some kitchen king masala and mix well and cook for some more time without lid till the peels turn little more brown.

You can add some lemon juice and fresh coriander and serve.
