Korma is a very royal and Mughlai dish. Today i have tried to innovate bottle gourd(lauki) in a new way. This Korma is a very yummy and delectable dish made with lauki as main ingredient. Generally kids don't like this vegetable. But this healthy shahi korma is really irrestible. Nobody can say no to it. So cook lauki in this way and give healthy and restaurant style treat to your loved ones at home.
