The super combination of chana dal (Bengal gram) and lauki (Bottle gourd/doodhi) play a wonderful medley in this robust chana dal lauki curry that goes great with almost all kinds of Indian breads and rice. This is a wholesome dish in which you get the goodness of both lentil and vegetable, but the preparation is very different from other dal and curry recipes that we are used to making for regular meals. It is spicy due to a generous use of both whole and powdered spices and tastes somewhat like South Indian sambhar, but the spice proportions are completely different and to know that, you need to check out our recipe !
*This chana dal lauki tastes best when served with pudina parantha, methi akki roti and cumin rice.
*To pack a wholesome lunch box team chana dal lauki with ragi palak wheat n dal thepla or missi roti along with mint rice. Combine with beetroot raita or anar ka raita to balance the spicy notes.
