Lauki Moong daal ki sabji – lauki/doodhi/bottle gourd is a summer special vegetable. It has excellent nutritional benefits and is very low in calories,but still neglected and disliked by children and many people.
Lauki is considered among the top recommended vegetables in Ayurveda as it is very quick and easy to digest so this is very good for sick and weak patients,you can give the boiled bottle gourd puree to small kids also .
As it is very mild and blend in taste so you can do so many variation of this lauki tamatar ki sabzi and experiments with this humble vegetable . It is also a low budget and very easily available vegetable so can be easily used and made regularly.

    Hello Anjana,

    This is Lakshmi Bhathena from New York.
    This dish is so simple, so easy to prepare and so delicious !!!!
    It was so “satisfying” to have this dish on a weekend with hot rice.
    Thank you so much for this recipe.
    I will definitely be trying more recipes from your blog :))

      Thank you Lakshmi. This recipe is a staple at our home when lauki is in season. The creaminess of the version makes it very different from most other ways lauki is cooked. I’m glad you liked it 🙂
