Bottle gourd /dudhi /lauki is one of the healthiest vegetables which contain many nutrients and it's available across India.
Dudhi chana dal, lauki chana dal is most common combination of bottle gourd preparation in an Indian household. This easy, quick and soulful dish may have some variations in preparations.
Here is my quick and easy recipe of dudhi chana dal with basic spice, which is my family favourite and I make it often. This healthy and nutritious preparation tastes best with chapati, roti, paratha or steamed rice.
