Heat a tablespoon of oil in a sauté pan and fry the boris to a crunchy golden brown. Remove and keep aside.
To the same oil, add bay leaf, cinnamon and cumin seeds. Saute for a few seconds.
Add green chilli and grated ginger. Saute for half-a-minute.
Add the tomatoes and fry till they turn soft.
Add the chopped bottle gourd and mix well.

Cover and simmer on low-medium heat till the bottle gourd is cooked through and all the moisture has evaporated. Fresh bottle gourd releases enough water to cook; otherwise you can add a little water.
