Calabash/Bottle Gourd? What!

Calabash/Bottle Gourd (Lauki) is white from the inside and green on the outside. It has tiny seeds that you do not have to remove when cutting. I peel it with a potato peeler and then cut it up into small pieces. This dish is best eaten with some sort of flat bread such as roti, paratha or naan. There are various methods of cooking it, but this is my favourite way. If taste isn't the only reason you want to try bottle gourd, check out all the health benefits!
