The vegetable is peeled, chopped, and cooked with typical Indian spices and a small amount of oil to create a mildly flavored, nutritious side dish. It is commonly consumed alongside rice or Indian flatbreads such as chapati or roti.

This dish is modest in calories and fat due to the low inherent fat content of bottle gourd combined with moderate cooking oil.
