It is diuretic in nature and help maintain water level of the body.Very good for heart health and extremely effective in jaundice. Bottle gourd juice helps to control blood pressure and helps reducing body weight.So its advised to use bottlegourd/lauki on everyday basis through out the summer.

Bottle gourd have numerous health benefits but as it is mild and blend in taste so kids often avoid eating this healthy vegetable. lauki is very mild and blend in taste so I have seen many people avoid eating lauki due to this reason ,but there are so many ways to include it in your diet.you can make sweets ,snacks ,curry ,snacks with this healthy humble vegetable.

    Adding water to lauki to cook?
    Lauki is full of water itself, almost like a waremelon.
    In northern India, we cook
    Lauki in its own juices on low heat. Being a soft veggie, it shouldn’t take long. You don’t want mush but veg keeping its own shape but still well cooked.
