This is an innovative ideas of mine , when I purchased a young bottlegourd/Lauki. Young ones in our family don't like to eat lauki , knowingly. I used to make lauki kofta , Uttapam , Pizza for them , so that they were not able to find out. For this lauki and kalonji/nigella seeds subzi also it was difficult from them to find out .

I have taken a lauki with less developed seeds. The was delicious, aromatic and tasteful. One can have this recipe with roti/steamed rice.
