Lauki Paratha Recipe.

Ingredients:

11/4 Cups bottle gourd grated - lauki or sorakaya
21/4 cups whole wheat flour or atta
1/4 tsp garam masala powder
1/4 tsp red chili powder or 1 green chili paste (optional)
1/2 cup methi leaves or palak (optional) fine chopped
1/4 cup coriander leaves fine chopped
salt as needed
1 tbsp oil
2 tbsp ghee or as needed

Recipe Instructions:

For lauki paratha
add all the ingredients to a bowl except ghee and oil.
Begin to knead well.
The moisture begins to release from gourd and helps to bind the flour.
If needed can sprinkle little water.
Pour oil and knead to a pliable dough.
Set aside for 30 minutes.
Make 8 equal sized balls.
Rolling lauki paratha
flour the rolling area and flatten a ball.
Begin to roll to slightly thick parathas.
Sprinkle flour as needed and roll to paratha, slightly thicker than phulka or roti.
When all the parathas are done rolling, then heat a pan.
Toasting
when the pan turns hot, transfer a paratha and begin to cook.
When tiny bubbles begin to arise, then flip and cook on the other side till brown spots are visible.
Smear ghee as needed.
Finish toasting all the parathas.
Stack them on a kitchen tissue to keep them soft.
Serve lauki paratha with raita, chutney or curry.
