Bottlegourd Lauki Raita Recipe

Lauki Raita is very regular in my parents house, my mom use to make this mostly for guest as it's different from usual onion, cucumber raita. Though I don't make much of these I rather use my lauki/bottle gourd in dal, sabzi etc but once in a while for change I make this too.

Lauki Raita is best specially during this summer time due to bottle gourd high water content.  This serves itself as a side dish for paratha or any variety rice and it's also one of Navratri fasting recipe, if you don't use red chilli powder during fasting then add green chilli and rock salt/sendha namak.  But try this any day and you going to like it, it's very simple hardly takes any time.  I made this in microwave but you can cook bottle gourd on stove too.
