Lauki Paratha 



Description:

Lauki Paratha (Bottle gourd paratha) are delicious North Indian flatbreads made with whole wheat flour (atta), Bottle gourd, spices and fresh herbs. Lauki is the Hindi word for Bottle gourd aka opo squash or long melon. So these are nothing but Bottle gourd Parathas. Lauki is a staple veggie in the Indian cuisine and is used in plenty of dishes. This recipe uses grated Bottle gourd, that’s mixed with the flour and other ingredients to make the dough.

These lauki paratha are not stuffed so they are easier to make. You just make the dough and roll portions to round parathas. These are toasted on a griddle with ghee or oil. They can be made thick or thin to your liking. These can be served hot or cold with a chutney, pickle or yogurt. But they taste good on their own if the dough is spiced well.

If you plan to make these in the early morning, you can grate the bottle gourd the previous night and keep it ready in the refrigerator. Making the dough in the stand mixer or the food processor simplifies the task. You can roll the dough to parathas immediately after kneading the dough. These lauki paratha keep good in the refrigerator for 2 days and can be steamed to reheat.

You can also make these with grated zucchini, carrots or beetroots. 

Ingredients:

Grated bottle gourd - 1 1/2 cups 

Whole wheat flour- 2 1/2 cups 

Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp

Garam masala- 1/2 tsp

Kasuri methi - 1/4 cup
