Sorakaya Vadalu Recipe -- How to make Bottle Gourd Fritters -- Lauki ki Fritters

Hi, Good morning. Thank you, friends and viewers. Today I will post hot to make Bottle Gourd Fritters.

Actually, they cannot be called fritters, as the word applies to a variety of fried food. Here we do not fry them rather we shallow fry or we cook them on tawa using very less oil. But it did not occur to my mind otherthan fritters for them. So, I christened them as..
Lauki or bottle gourd or sorakaya is a summer vegetable. It is soothing to the body during hot summers and it contains a lot of water. It is an easily digestible vegetable.
We can make different varieties of dishes with it like lauki kofta curry, sorakaya ava kura(bottle gourd with mustard masala), Sorakaya Nuvvula podi kura(bottle gourd with sesame seed powder), Sorakaya pesara pappu kura(bottle gourd with moong dal), dal with lauki, etc., I found the best use of the vegetable is to make dosa with it.

I am presenting a small video for easy reference and clear understanding of the recipe. Please do watch it and post your comments, you can subscribe to my channel for regular updates.
