Samak bottle gourd pulav is the perfect savoury dish for Navratri's fasts - healthy and tasty too. Generally we use potatoes in the fasting food. We all know the fact that Bottle gourd is full of water & minerals and very good for our health. So replacement of potatoes with the bottle gourd is a good option not only for change in taste but specially for people who can't consume potatoes for all days of Navratri. It tastes great in samak pulav. My family likes it so much and I am sure you too will like it.
