Lauki paratha is made using wheat flour, bottle gourd and very mild spices. They can be served with any chutney, curry or with plain curd. I have served lauki paratha with sweet and tangy tomato chutney. Lauki or ghiya is low in cholestrol and high in fibre. It is easy to digest and helps in curing constipation.
Lets check how to make lauki paratha.

Heat tawa on low medium heat put the rolled paratha on it.
