Lauki Sabzi – Light, Flavorful & Nutritious

Lauki (bottle gourd) is a simple yet wholesome vegetable packed with nutrients and a naturally mild taste that absorbs spices beautifully. This quick and easy sabzi is light on the stomach yet full of flavor, making it perfect for a healthy everyday meal. It pairs well with chapatis, dal-rice, or even as a side dish for a larger spread.

Ingredients:

500g lauki (bottle gourd), peeled and chopped
1 – 2 tbsps (25-50g) Handi Mix
1 – 2 tbsp oil
1 – 1 ^1/2 glass water (250-375ml)
Red Chillies (If you like it hot)
Salt to taste (If Needed)
Fresh coriander (for garnish)

Dos & Don’ts:

✅ Do cook on low heat to retain lauki’s mild sweetness.
✅ Do add water sparingly, as lauki releases its own moisture.
❌ Don’t overcook; lauki should be soft but not mushy.
❌ Don’t skip the coriander garnish—it adds freshness to the dish!
