I have shared some recipes of bottle gourd or lauki in the blog earlier. Today, I am sharing a famous mouth-watering lauki kofta sabji recipe which belongs to north indian cuisine.

Lauki kofta recipe – in which koftas are prepared with grated lauki mixed with spices and besan (gram flour) and deep fried, then simmered into the spicy gravy and served with plain paratha or naan, missi or tandoori roti or plain chapati and also goes well with jeera rice or pulao like green peas pulao, vegetable pulao.

Lauki Kofta Recipe : Step by Step Instructions

First of all, we will make kofta.
Mix all ingredients of kofta in a bowl and make thick batter.
Now heat 250 ml oil in a Kadahi and deep fry the dumplings of the batter we prepared.
Fry these kofta on medium flame till golden brown.
Soft lauki kofta are ready. Now we will make curry.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and crackle asafetida and cumin seeds in it.
Add ginger, green chili pepper and onion in it and cook till golden brown.
Now add tomato puree and all the spices in it. Mix it well and cook on medium flame for 5 minutes.
When the oil comes at surface, then add garam masala and 400 ml water in it and boil it for 5 minutes.
Switch off the flame and put all kofta in this curry. Cover the pan with a lid and leave it for few minutes so that kofta will absorb a small amount of curry.
Garnish the delicious lauki kofta curry with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with Roti, Paratha or Naan.
