A video is becoming increasingly viral on social media in which a person puts a whole bottle gourd in a tandoor, cooks it on embers and then prepares its bharta, just like potato and brinjal bharta is often made. The video shows the gourd taken out of the tandoor being mixed with spices, chillies, coriander and oil, but this unique cooking style has sparked debate on the internet.
A battle broke out on the internet over bottle gourd bhartha!
At the beginning of the video, the person places a big gourd on the mouth of the tandoor and slowly slides it inside. In the heat of tandoor fire and embers, the peel of bottle gourd starts turning black within a few minutes. The camera shows in close-up that the gourd has become soft from inside and the aroma of roasting is spreading. After this, he takes out the gourd with tongs and puts it in a big vessel and removes its burnt peel. He mashes the soft gourd from inside with a spoon. Then he heats the pan and pours oil into it.
Cooked bottle gourd in the style of potato and brinjal, but did not enjoy it!
After this, the person adds tomato, onion and garlic water in the pan and cooks the bottle gourd in the same style as the potato and brinjal, but still the bottle gourd does not get that shine which is often seen in the potato and brinjal bharta. Now the war of gourd vs potato has started on social media and people are giving different types of reactions regarding it.
