1tsp Coriander Powder
1Tsp Garam Masala Powder
1tsp Turmeric powder
1tsp Red chili powder
1tsp kasoori methi(fenugreek leaves)
1Tbsp cilantro finely chopped (for garnishing)
1tbsp oil
1tsp salt or according to taste

Chek here in this link to check  how to make  Bottle Gourd Cutlet/Kofta 

Method:
Grind  Onion ,Tomato ,green chili and make a smooth paste and keep it aside.

Remove from heat. Add chopped cilantro in it .

Notes-Kofta will absorb the water so put little extra water and cook with kofta only 3-4 minutes. 
so they absorb the masala and gravy. .
