I made it finally. I was not sure if I could meet Pooja's deadline, but I did it. :-)
This simple shaak is from South Gujarat. I like it for its simplicity.

This looks healthy and delicious..Question, does the Matki have to be cooked if placed with the bottle gourd or is it supposed to be slightly crunchy ?
Just saw this combo in another blog looks very yummy . I am gonna try combo next time.
Ranji:
Thanks for your kind words.
Pooja:
Dudhi- muth is a very nice combo, isn't it? Glad to know that I am not late.
Maya:
Thanks! I add dudhi & raw moth sprouts in the tempered oil. and they both get cooked. Those beans need to be cooked well. They are not meant to be crunchy or raw.
SpicyTasty:
Yes. Dudhi-Muth is a great combo, probably not as wellknown as dudhi-chana dal, which is another Gujarati classic! Hopefully, I will blog about dudhi-chana soon.
