Tips & Secrets

  • Using only the outer green part of the gourd (avoiding the pith) is mandatory for achieving the most professional-grade vibrant color and texture.
  • Ensuring the gourd is sautéed in ghee before adding milk provides the absolute secret to achieving superior professional-grade flavor lock.
