This bottle gourd curry will be a hit with everyone as it’s vegetarian, gluten-free, and healthy. This is the type of curry that you will want to eat every day. Nothing says home quite like a warming bowl of lauki ki sabzi with homemade chapatti.

This vegetable curry recipe uses bottle gourd as the main ingredient in this recipe. There are many different names for this vegetable, such as calabash, lauki, long melon, dudhi, and opo squash.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it is extremely low in calories due to its very high-water content and has very little fat. Bottle gourd is one of those ingredients that has an array of benefits perfect for weight loss and just general good health.
