Knead a dough,no adding water, the lauki releases water and is much sufficient to knead the dough. Nor stiff nor too loose.(medium)

Apply oil on your palms and make a cylindrical roll from the dough. Add water in the lower vessel and keep a strainer, grease an oil over the strainer and keep the rolls to steam, with the lid closed,, if u have a steamer,u can use that. Steam for about 20-25mins on medium flame.. check after exact 2mins with a knife/fork inserting in the roll, if it comes clear then switch off the flame. If not then cook for more 10 mins.

After cooling completely,cut into thin slices.
