I love kofta based curries with flatbread and raita in dinner meals, lauki kofta curry is one of mine favorite recipe. Lauki kofta curry is very famous Indian recipe which can be served with rice, raita, chapati or parathas whatever you like and makes more interesting and delicious. For this recipe, you have to prepare koftas or dumpling first with grated gourd and then cook in tomatoes and onion based gravy. It’s good for digestion system and helpful in weight loss. It’s contains many vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin A, C and folate.
