Bottle gourd is a wonderful cooling vegetable that can really help fight the hot summer months. The fresh bottle gourd juice has been traditionally used for many years for treating many bodily disorders. There are various ways in which this vegetable can be prepared as part of your diet. Bottle gourd as such is a very bland vegetable and when cooked with lightly roasted sesame seeds powder, it enhances the flavor of the vegetable and gives a nut-like taste and adds a delightful crunchy flavor to the dish.

White sesame seeds are extremely rich in calcium and are useful in all cases of calcium deficiency. The cooked vegetable has a cooling, diuretic, relaxing and anti-bilious effect on the body.
