Lauki and methi moong dal

Lauki kofta curry

Koftas made of lauki are cooked to perfection in a oh-so-flavourful gravy in this recipe. Don t worry about the oil bit in the koftas as the koftas in this preparation are not deep fried but are simmered and cooked in the curry itself. Find the recipe here.

Lauki ki kheer

Make a sweet dish out of lauki and you will have a cracker of a dessert. This recipe is prepared with low-fat milk and fibre-rich lauki, that can satiate your sweet tooth while keeping you on the right track if you are trying to lose weight. Find the recipe here.
