Bottlegourd combined with lentils yield delicious recipes. I prepared boiled chickpeas and yellow Moong dal with chopped young bottlegourd. The curry is prepared with usual onion masala paste. The addition of ghee and garam masala powder enhanced the, colour and texture of a well popular vegetable-lauki/dudhi/bottlegourd.
