Lauki (Bottle Gourd) Bites


Bottle Gourd (Lauki) is very good for your stomach because it’s a cold vegetable and it helps with acidity.

This is very easy recipe and a perfect party snack or a side dish.

Ingredients:-

  • 3 cups Lauki, grated
  • 4 tbsp Gram Flour
  • 3 tbsp Rice Flour
  • 2 tbsp Juwar Flour (Jowar Flour)
  • 5 Garlic Cloves, chopped
  • 1-1/2 tsp Ginger, grated
  • 1/4 tsp Asafetida
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tbsp Dhania-Jeera Powder
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 2 tsp Chat Masala
  • 3 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Oil, plus extra for shallow fry
  • Salt to taste

Method:-

1. Mix all ingredients into the bowl and mix well.

2. Heat oil in the pan. Shape the mixture in quarter-size circles about half-inch thick.

3. Cook both sides on low heat until its cooked and golden brown.

4. Serve hot with cool raita or ranch.

Enjoy...

This is my entry to Pooja’s VoTW - Bottle Gourd Event.




I am also sending Potato In Bottle Gourd Curry for the event.
