Ingredients 

  • 1 medium bottle gourd (lauki/doodhi)
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons amaranth (rajgira) flour
  • 100 grams cottage cheese (paneer)
  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled
  • 2 tablespoons khoya
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 4-5 cloves
  • 4-5 green cardamoms
  • 1 inch cinnamon stick
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cream

Method

  1. Peel bottle gourd, cut into thick roundels and remove seeds from the center to shape like doughnuts.
  2. Grate cottage cheese and potatoes into a bowl. Add khoya, salt and 1 tsp crushed peppercorns and mix well, mashing lightly.
  3. Stuff the bottle gourd roundel centres with the cottage cheese-khoya mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a non-stick pan, add cloves, cardamoms and cinnamon and sauté for a minute. Place stuffed bottle gourd roundels in the pan, cover and cook till the underside turns brown.
  5. Take yogurt in a bowl, add amaranth flour, salt and remaining crushed peppercorns and mix well. Add 1 cup water and whisk well to make a smooth batter.
  6. Uncover the pan, flip the bottle gourd pieces, cover and cook till the other side is similarly done.
  7. Pour the yogurt mixture in another non-stick pan, and cook, stirring continuously, till the mixture thickens. Add fresh cream and mix well. Simmer for a minute.
  8. Put some of the kadhi on a serving plate, arrange the stuffed bottle gourd roundels over it and serve immediately. Serve the remaining kadhi as required.
