Sour curry without sour herbs 🌿
This is my mom’s Calabash Sour Curry — simple, comforting, and full of flavour.

Ingredients (serves 3–4):
1 medium calabash (about 500 g), skin on
1 medium onion, sliced
5 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger
2–3 green chilies, sliced
1 sprig curry leave
5 small brinjal (eggplant), sliced
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 tsp turmeric 
1–1½ tbsp tamarind paste (to taste)
2 packed cups fresh spinach
Salt to taste
2 tbsp oil

Method:
1. Heat oil and sauté onion, garlic, ginger, chilies & curry leaves until lightly browned
2. Add turmeric, salt, tomato & tamarind paste and mix well. 
3. Add calabash & brinjal, stir to coat
4. Add spinach, cover and cook until soft and reduced

💡 Tip: Spinach + tamarind gives that sour herb taste even when sour herbs aren’t available.
