Lauki Raita with Mustard (Lauki ka Rai Wala Raita)

During the summer, nature provides us with fruits and vegetables that are full of water and have a cooling effect, helping our bodies cope with the heat. One of these is lauki (bottle gourd), which is currently abundant in the market. Lauki is beneficial for weight loss and heart health. It makes a delicious vegetable dish with minimal spices and oil. Besides the classic vegetable dish, lauki is also used in savory and sweet recipes like kofta, cheela, bajka, thepla, halwa, kheer, and barfi. Today, I'm sharing a recipe for lauki raita with mustard, a nutritious and flavorful dish. This recipe balances cooling ingredients like lauki and yogurt with the warmth of mustard. Combining them creates a well-balanced dish.
