Yes Anjali..if I use Milk, then I won't use tamarind but am not sure if milk and tamarind go well together or not.

Snigdha,
if you use milk in this curry then you won't use tamarind, right?
Milk & tamarind don't go well together.

Thanks Snigdha for your comment. If you get Ashgourd try to make this curry using that. First you grind the coconut, chilli and tamarind and in the end add mustard and just grind for abt 10 seconds. You can also prepare this dish adding curd instead of tamarind, which tastes even better.

Try cooking Bottlegourd in Milk to give a better flavor and texture. I normally add the seasoning directly including coconut powder, next time around i shall grind coconut powder, red chillies, mustard seeds and tamarind paste (which i don't use for making this curry). The dish looks really good.
