A delicious and healthy sabzi prepared from bottle guard (lauki/doodhi) and chana dal (bengal gram). This sabzi can be prepared quickly provided you have soaked the dal earlier. It is made with ingredients that are easily available in your kitchen.

We make this sabzi without onion and garlic. This is of mild spicy taste and can be served with phulka rotis or steamed rice and buttermilk.

In this recipe, we have added small quantity of jaggery, just to balance the tanginess of tomatoes. If you want you can eliminate adding jaggery to this sabzi.
