Lauki or Bottle Gourd – also known as dudhi or ghiya – is one of the best vegetables that should be included in your diet, especially during summers.
Be it as a juice or as a sabzi or in a soup or as a dessert, lauki is always good for your health. It is a water-rich vegetable (96% water content) and so it keeps your body hydrated and helps you beat the heat especially during summers.

- Heat the pan and add 2-3 tbsp of oil.
