Bottle Gourd / Lauki Cutlets stuffed with figs !

 Bottle gourd is another vegetable which many don't like, it is supposed to be very good for diabetics, especially cook with skin they say, of course if the skin is tender only, else peel lightly. This vege can be made into nice halwa, once during Covid, I had made the halwa, then left it in the hot pan itself, it had become crisp, hubby loved it, said to always make like that only !

Ingredients

lauki/ bottle gourd 1 medium size peeled and grated

onion 1 big finely chopped

potatoes 2-3 boiled, peeled and mashed

green chilies finely chopped as per taste OR add only chili pdr

turmeric pdr 1/8 tsp

hing little

salt to taste

roasted besan 1/4 cup

jeera pdr

oil for shallow frying

figs 6-8 finely chopped

 

Method

in a pan roast the besan stirring till nice aroma comes , remove and cool

boil the lauki in just enough water till done, strain well and keep aside 

In a big bowl, mash the potatoes, add the onion chopped along with green chilies and other spices, mix well

add the drained lauki mix well, add besan mix well

shape into small cutlets stuff with figs, cover well, shallow/ deep fry as you wish.

Serve hot with green and tamarind chutneys.
