Bottle gourd or lauki is a summer vegetable. It is very healthy as it has a large amount of water plus vitamins and minerals.

But often, people do not like to have this vegetable. My own kids are not too fond of it.

This lauki ki sabji recipe is a very simple recipe with minimal spices.

This was the way my mum made it often, and I really relished it with rotis. You will also love this lauki ke kofte recipe.

I also make a spicier curry with lauki along with making lauki with chana dal. Both are delicious recipes.

In Karnataka it is called sorakayi and is used in sambar as well as in making chutneys and raitas.

Lauki or bottle gourd is a very healthy vegetable, the consumption of which keeps you hydrated.

Those looking for weight loss must include this vegetable in their diet as it is very low on Calories and high on nutrition.

    I cook something similar but I usually add green chillies and top it off with some coconut. Will try this version sometime.

    How did you chop your garlic so fine? 😀

    I’m one of those weird people who loves lauki and I’ll definitely be trying this recipe soon. I usually make this with some dal in it. This simple recipe sounds interesting.

    Like I told you, we love Lauki but we usually make the curry. The koftas also turn out fine but they’re cumbersome. I’ll try this one – it’s easier than the curry. I love that it needs such few ingredients.
