Lauki Paratha Recipe | How To Make Doodhi Thepla

Lauki Paratha- Grated Bottle gourd and wheat flour flat bread

Lauki Paratha / Doodhi thepla is a simple yet healthy and delicious paratha. Usually Bottle gourd / lauki is used to make different types of curries and snacks but this paratha is different and equally delicious. It is quite easy to make and you need just some pickle or yogurt to serve along this lauli thepla.

Making lauki paratha is quite easy. First of all you have to choose a young tender lauki . If lauki is mature and have hard seeds then scoop out the seeds before grating it. The seeds will ruin the taste and texture of the lauki paratha.

I have used wheat flour and some gram flour in it. But you can make it with only wheat flour or you multigrain flour or any flour of your choice. You can add some chopped greens of your choice to make it more healthier and crisp.

You can serve this for breakfast, lunch or pack in lunch boxes with some yogurt  and pickle . This lauli paratha goes well with any tangy curry  and raita. I prefer to have this with aloo tamatar ki sabzi and pickle.
