ABOUT A FRESH TWIST ON THE BORING BOTTLE GOURD/LAUKI ( BOTTLEGOURD MULTIGRAIN FLATBRAD - LAUKI KE THALIPEETH ) RECIPE

Bottle gourd or Lauki is such a boring vegetable that it is almost a repulsion from buying. However, it is so nutritious that you must include it in your diet. Well having bottle gourd curry is a strict no no and a big turn off for me. Yes, I do have the option to make Halwa but I cannot have it every week.
