Lowkey Loathe Lauki? Here Are A Few Recipes That May Change Your Mind

Khushboo Saluja by Khushboo Saluja
July 10, 2020
3 min read
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Lauki, doodhi, ghiya­—no matter what you call it, bottle gourd is more of a “punishment pakwaan” for most of us. It’s the sabzi your mom bribes you into eating with promises of letting you order pizza for your next meal.

And does it really come as a surprise that such an unpalatable vegetable carries a host of health benefits? Just our luck.

Keeping all this in mind, we decided to share some quick and easy lauki recipes that will trick you into liking this dreadful vegetable.

1. Lauki Cheela

Besan cheela is an easy protein-rich dish that is enjoyed by most. These so-called “Indian pancakes” are quite versatile when it comes to the addition of ingredients, and some grated lauki can be disguised well within its batter. In fact, it may even make your regular cheelas crispier.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup lauki, grated

3/4 cup besan

1/4 cup sooji

1/4 cup curd

1 tsp red chilli powder

1/4 tsp hing

1/4 tsp haldi

1/2 cup water

1/2 tsp salt, to taste

1 and 3/4 tsp oil, for greasing

3 and 1/2 tsp oil, for cooking

Method:

Combine all the ingredients, except the oil, in a large bowl, add water, and mix well to make the batter. Heat a flat, non-stick tawa and grease it with 1/4 tsp of oil. Use a ladle to pour some batter on the hot tawa and spread it evenly to make a circle. Routinely drizzle some oil and flip, until both the sides turn golden brown.

Serve hot with some green chutney and/or tomato ketchup.

2. Lauki Raita

This raita recipe is really sneaky and can fool you into thinking that you’re having some good old kheere ka raita. Works well though, right?

Ingredients:

1 medium sized lauki, peeled, boiled and grated

1 cucumber, peeled and grated

1 and 1/2 green chillies, finely chopped

3 cups yogurt, chilled and whisked

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp black salt

1/2 tsp salt, to taste

A pinch of red chilli powder

Coriander/mint leaves, finely chopped

Method:

In a large bowl, add the grated lauki, cucumber, and green chillies. Add the curd, along with the cumin powder, black salt, salt, and red chilli powder, and whisk well. Garnish with the chopped coriander or mint leaves, and serve.

This raita pairs well with all your favourite parathas and pulaos.

3. Lauki Ki Kheer

Say whaaaaaaat?! Yes, you read that right. Our beloved lauki can be transformed into a rather tasty kheer.

Image Source

Ingredients:

1 cup lauki, grated

1/2 tbsp ghee

1/2 cup milk powder

2 tbsp sugar

1 cup milk

1/4 tsp cardamom powder

1 tbsp almond slivers

Method:

In a deep, non-stick pan, heat the ghee and saute the lauki on a medium flame for about 2-3 minutes. Add the sugar and stir until it melts into the ghee and lauki mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the almond slivers, and cook on a medium flame for another 4-5 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Once done, keep aside to cool for a bit.

Garnish with the almond slivers, and serve warm.

Apart from being a bookworm, a film and theatre aficionado, an adventure sports enthusiast, and an avid seeker of pop culture, I’d best describe myself as the personification of bubbling soda. The perfectionist in me is convinced that the perfect cup of cappuccino is a myth.

Brides, your big day is almost here! It’s definitely time to feel the excitement, but it is also time to do a final check so that things run smoothly during your wedding. As the bride, you won’t be required to do any of the heavy lifting. But as the bride, you are expected to know everything that’s going on. You need to sort out any problems or issues beforehand so that you, the bride, don’t have to get stressed about anything. And the closer the wedding gets, the higher is the chance for stress to creep into your mind. So, we made a checklist for brides for the week before the wedding. This is the only checklist you need to refer to if you’re getting married in a week. - @sukhmani_waraich, Head Of Content & Strategy

Aquarius is one of the most flirty and charming air signs of the zodiac. And if you’ve got your eyes on one, good choice. But just a heads up, these air babies have a tendency to flirt and make people fall for them, sometimes unintentionally. So, if you think they could be your potential match ’cause they’re fun, flirty, and comfortable with you, you’ve got to hold your horses. Here’s an Aquarius compatibility quiz that will reveal if you should pursue them or drop everything and run for the hills. - @ravnoor09, Features Writer

If you are a fan of romance novels and movies, you would know that one of the most common tropes used in both is an office romance. Two colleagues who probably don’t see eye to eye, but have sizzling chemistry, often end up together. Well, office romances are not that uncommon in real life either. After all, you spend a good chunk of your day with your workmates. It’s natural then that you could be attracted to someone you work with. As thrilling as the prospect of dating a colleague is, you need to be careful about the relationship as well. Dating someone you work with is not easy, so here are some dos and don’ts if you want to hit the accelerator on that exciting office romance. - @abookaholicarts, Features Writer
