Lauki Raita with Lachha Paratha

Peel and grate lauki. Transfer it into a pot and steam it over a slow flame for 10-15 minutes. If the gourd is not very fresh then add ¼ cup water to it for better steaming otherwise just use low heat.

Saute onion in some olive oil until softened or more caramelized (as you like). Grate garlic in there. Add all the spices to it (cumin seeds, nigella seeds, mustard seeds, red chili flakes). Fry it gently for a minute.

Then, transfer the steam luki shreds to it and saute it for a couple minutes till the aromatics are absorbed by the lauki.

Prepare the yogurt by seasoning it with fresh grated garlic, salt, black pepper. Transfer the lauki mixture to yogurt and adjust seasoning. Serve it with a rice meal or any kind of bread your choice.
