Bottlegaurd/Sorakaya tomato curry

Hi all,
        I have been feeling very lazy after my  trip to my  parents place ,so i was thinking of making something simple yet tasty and all i had was a lone bottleguard sitting at the bottom of my fridge.Suddenly I remembered one of my  friends telling me about this curry so i called her for the recipe and i added a little bit of my own touch to it & so it goes like this but before that i want to share my baby's burger made in her kitchen

 Now the Ingredients:
                Bottlegaurd /sorakya = 1 (make them into small cubes)
                Onion                       = 1 (if it is jumbo 1/2 is enough)
                Tomato                    = 1 or 1 1/2 ( i used 1 1/2)
                Shredded Coconut    = 1/4 cup
                Green chillies              = 1 no
                 karam/red chilli powder=1/4 tbsp
                 Turmeric                      =1/4 tbsp
                 Salt                              = as required
                 Ghee                           =1 Tbsp
                 Cilantro                       = for garnishing
                 Oil
  For seasoning :
                 Mustard               = 1/2 tbsp
                 Cumin                  =1/4 tbsp
                 Dhania/Coriander seeds = 1/4 tbsp
                 Curry leaves                  = 5 no

Recipe:
         In a pressure cooker add oil and once it is hot add the seasoning,once the mustard splutters
         Add the onion & green chillies fry it and once the onion turns golden brown add the coconut and fry it so that it looses its raw smell
         Now add the bottlegaurd let it fry for 5-6 min then add tomatoes and red chilli powder,turmeric,salt and Fry for 2 min
         Add  little bit of water and now keep the lid and pressure cook for 3 whistles
         When it cools down, open the lid & if there is lot of water, keep it on low flame for 5 min and let all the water evaporate
         Add ghee and cilantro
        Now tasty yummy bottlegaurd curry is ready ,goes well with rice ,roti etc
         So enjoy .......................
