Stuffed snake gourd with mince meat

Ingredients
mince meat 500gms
onions         3
tomatoes     4
garlic          4 to 5 cloves
ginger         an inch
garam masala  powder
chilli powder     
cumin powder
turmeric powder
vinegar         a tsp

Procedure

When buying the snake gourd be sure to buy tender ones as it will be tasty and cooks faster.
Lightly scrape the snake gourd and wash it well.  If the snake gourd is too long cut it into half and boil it for 5 mins .Remove it from the boiling water after 5mins and let it cool.Now we can prepare the mince mixture for the filling.

Chop th onions finely and add oil to the pan and fry it till it becomes lightly brown ,add the ginger and garlic  let it fry .Now add all the powders and let it give out a nice aroma while frying . Add the tomatoes and see that they are well mashed with the onions .Now add the mince meat which has been washed and the water should be drained. Let it boil well. Add some salt , vinegar , tomato ketchup.After it is well boiled take it off the fire and let it cool down as it has to be used for the filling.

After the meat is cooled down a bit stuff it into the snake gourd and to seal the edges take some chana flour and water and make it into a thick paste and seal it.
Take some oil in a shallow frying pan and fry it till it gets a light brown colour. You can have it with chapatis or it can be served as a side dish with dhal and rice.
