NOTE

In this recipe strained the soup for a smooth texture, but sometimes I don't strain to keep it a bit chunky. Not straining also retains all the fibre of the bottle gourd soup. You can also substitute bottle gourd with ridged gourd which is also a highly alkaline vegetable and great for both weight balance and detox.
