Lauki Chana Dal Recipe | Dudhi Chana Dal | High Protein Bottle Gourd Lentil Curry

Lauki Chana Dal is a nutritious recipe that combined the Bottle Gourd and lentils making it a perfect dish for a wholesome lunch or dinner. Lauki is also known as Doodhi or Giya and one of my favorite dishes while growing up.

In the South, we make Kootu with the Lauki that was cooked along with lentils and coconut. When I got married I noticed many similarities with this dish and Kootu. Both used bengal gram and bottle gourd; only that the flavors and textures were different and in no time Dudhi Chana Dal became my favorite as well.

Serve Lauki Chana Dal along with Aloo Simla Mirch Ki Sabzi, Bhakri and Palak Raita for a weekday lunch or dinner.

Roasted Summer Squash (With a Panko Breading)

Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping. I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too).

Beef Bourguignon (Beef Stew with Wine)

Beef Bourguignon (pronounced “bef bur-gee-nyon,”) is a beef stew recipe . The difference between this recipe and a regular stew is the amount of wine added to the broth giving it a deep flavor. Carrots, onions, mushrooms, and garlic round out this one-pot meal. The whole thing bakes in the oven until tender. Ingredients This recipe is a simplified version of Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon with the steps somewhat simplified (and ingredients slightly adapted).
