Lauki Sabzi | Dudhi Sabji | Bottlegourd Dry Curry Recipe

Bottle gourd curry, lauki sabzi or dudhi sabji is something I that make more with bottle gourd other than the dal. This lauki sabzi is very easy, simple and made with minimal ingredients and it goes well with roti, paratha or with dal-rice, rasam-rice etc. Normally I make this dudhi sabzi with roti or when I want to make simple lunch then I make it with dal-rice combo. This is typical Uttar Pradesh style of sabzi made like in our home but I did mention few variations in notes which you can try too.

I have made in this way but you can also add milk when bottle gourd gets cooked and no water left it makes the curry very creamy and bring it to all new level. You can add red chili powder, onion etc to suite your taste too so you can see we can modify the recipe but if you follow just the way I did it taste yum too simple and delicious to make a satisfying meal. This time I paired it along Mango Dal, rice for a comfy Saturday lunch and this is also a no onion no garlic recipe :).
