This Punjabi lauki chana dal curry is an easy and quick recipe and goes very well with roti or phulkas. I make this recipe quite often at home as it's a combination of gram lentils and bottle gourd (especially not liked by my daughter).This combination makes this recipe much tastier and I as a mother am happy watching my daughter relish it!

Food is not simply stuff that people eat when they are hungry. Food is awesome, delicious, inventive, colorful, inspiring, and so much more. Food binds us together. You have no idea how much it means to me when you tell me that you made a recipe and loved it. My heart fills with joy. Literally.
