Bottlegourd Chunety | Lauki | Dudhi Chutney Recipe

Bottlegourd Lauki Chutney Recipe
I like bottle gourd, ridge gourd chutney and I make this almost every time I use both these veggie.  I use skin(peel) along with few bottle gourd pieces to make the chutney, but some times if bottle gourd is not tender then I use it mostly to make chutney or dal as making sabzi won't be nice and it take ages to get cooked.

I made this last week when again the lauki was hard and I have to give up on idea of making lauki sabzi and end up with this chutney.  Bottle gourd chutney is specially good during this summer due to this water content and cooling effect.  This chutney goes well with plain rice or any variety rice or even with paratha.   If you have not so tender bottle gourd or even to use the skin make this chutney don't let it go for waste.  You can also add coriander leaves along with this chutney I do that sometimes, and even give a tadka (tempering) which I doesn't do that for most of my chutney.

~ You can make this chutney only with bottle gourd skin (peel)
~ You can make this chutney in less quantity, less I had to use the hard bottle gourd I made in large quantity.
