Lauki (sorakaai/sorakaaya/dudhi, bottlegourd) with channa, this masala tastes really awesome, they goes prefect with chappathis, paratha, parottas also with hot rice topped with ghee...quite easy to prepare, its really a different masala with bottlegourd n channa...I picked this recipe from Indira's Lauki Chole for tried n tasted event by Zlamushka featuring Mahanandi for this month..
1cup Bottlegourd pieces
1cup Channa (soaked)
1no Onion Chopped
4nos Tomatoes chopped
1tsp Channa masala powder
1/2tsp Red chilly powder
1/4tsp Turmeric powder
1tsp Kasuri methi leaves(dry)
1/4tsp Lemon juice
Oil
Salt
Cook the already soaked channa with water to tender, take a half a cup of the cooked channa , grind them into fine paste, this helps to make the gravy thicker..
Heat the oil in a pan, add the chopped onion n chopped tomatoes n cook until they turns tender, add the bottle gourd pieces n cook them for a while...now add the cooked channa also the grounded paste of channa, add the channa masala, chilli powder, turmeric powder n salt to the pan, add enough water n mix everything well..cook them in simmer, covered with a lid upto 20 minutes, before putting off the stove, just sprinkle the dry kasui methi n add the lemon juice..put off the stove..
Serve them as side for any sort of breakfast dishes r else simply with rice...
