About
Lauki Kofta is a classic Ghar ka Khaana vegetarian dish made with soft, deep-fried dumplings prepared from grated lauki (bottle gourd) mixed with gram flour and light spices. These golden, tender koftas are then simmered in a rich, mildly spiced gravy made from tomatoes, cashew nuts, and aromatic masalas, giving the dish a creamy and comforting flavour. A homestyle favourite across North India, Lauki Kofta is delicious with rotis, parathas, or steamed rice, offering a satisfying yet light meal option.
