Lauki Dhokla Recipe | Healthy Bottle Gourd Dhokla

Lauki Dhokla Recipe- a healthy steamed snack made with bottle gourd, semolina and yogurt.

Lauki dhokla is a healthy snack. I have used bottle gourd puree in the batter to make it more healthier and easy to digest.

Bottle gourd is a very healthy and easy to digest vegetable but many kids and adult don’t like its blend taste. This lauki dhokla recipe is a good option to include bottle gourds in a healthy form.

I have used bottle gourd puree in the dhokla batter but you can also add finely grated bottle gourd instead of making puree, both ways the result will be equally good.

First mix semolina with yogurt and mix well and then grind bottle gourd with green chilies and ginger and then add this paste in semolina and yogurt mixture . Now add water to make a dropping consistency batter and add salt. now rest this lauki dhokla batter for minimum 15 minutes.

Now add 2 tbsp of oil and mix. boil water in the steamer and when water start boiling add eno in the mixture and stir well. pour the batter in greased plates and steam for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into pieces, make a tadka of mustard seeds , curry leaves and asafoetida  and pour over the pieces. The tadka is optional you can skip it for a fat free version.  or just brush some peanut oil over the lauki dhoklas after steaming.
