ABOUT Lauki Do Pyaza RECIPE

Any veggie cooked in a Do Pyaza style comes out really superb and delicious. Today I prepared with lauki (bottle gourd). It is an amazing recipe with lots of onion, hence the name - Do Pyaza. Make it a bit spicy and chatpata to be relished as a side dish with any form of rice or Indian bread.
