# Stuff gourds with remaining half. Tie securely with string so as slit does not open.
# Now heat oil in a shallow frying pan. Place stuffed gourds in it, and sauté on all sides, for 2 minutes. Cool a little, untie string. Carefully place in a shallow dish side by side. Sprinkle chopped onion and tomato all over gourds.
# Cover on top with remaining paneer mixture.
