A perfect dinner party dish, lauki kofta is delicious to eat. Soft dumplings made with grated lauki (bottle gourd), gram flour kofta and cooked in a flavourful gravy of spices, tomatoes and onions. These kofta are not deep fried but pan fried in a kuzhi paniyaram pan and has a lip smacking curry too.
