Lauki and methi moong dal
Here’s a hearty blend of moong dal cooked with lauki with a tinge of tamarind. While moong dal is rich in protein, lauki is a good source of fibre. Both these nutrients can be excellent if you are on a weight loss goal. Find the recipe here.

Lauki ka stew
Here’s an interesting spin to your regular bottle gourd. Prepared with coconut milk, this dish can be great to boost your digestive health. The spices give this dish an amazingly delicious flavour. Find the recipe here.

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.
