On the occasion of Bihar’s famous festival chhath puja, when I did eat this ‘lauki ki sabji’ with my friends and relatives, it was the moment of real pleasure.
In my childhood days, I never liked lauki (bottle gourd), but now i love the lauki in any preparation i.e. Lauki ki Kheer, Lauki Kofta, Lauki Aaloo ki Sabji
I really enjoy the delicious taste, and tempting aroma, of ghee (clarified butter) in lauki ki sabji. It produces the great aroma, taste, energy and a dose of nutrition, who observe fast on Chhath Pooja.
