I work at an urban farm and we did not plant this bottle gourd. I’ve heard it’s used in Indian dishes. Would someone be able to tell me if this is ripe? I harvested it thinking it could be used in a dish but I’ve heard mixed opinions

I usually harvest mine when they’re about forearm length, or if larger, before they start to lose colour. Usually they’ll stop getting longer, and fatten up overnight when it’s at peak ripeness. Peel and cook any way you’d cook zucchini, eggplant, or winter melon
