Lauki Wadi

Ghiya ki sabji recipe with step by step pictures: Bottle gourd cooked with onion, tomatoes, and spices along with spicy lentil dumplings called Punjabi Wadi or Amritsari Wadi, makes absolutely delish ghiya ki sabji. Ghiya is sabji is often considered bland and boring. But it can be pepped up so well with some Punjabi wadi. However, if you do not have these wadis, you can skip it. The recipe makes tasty lauki ki sabji without the wadi too. Although vadi adds a peculiar flavor to the dish.Lauki vadi can be served with simple phulkas and chilled yogurt for a comfort meal.

Ingredients for Lauki Wadi:

Amritsari Wadi: The Amritsari vadi can be found at your local grocers or even online. Make sure to get the spicy and flavorsome ones and fresh vadi.

Bottle gourd: Use fresh and tender bottle gourd.

Onion tomato: Onions have been chopped and used and tomatoes have been pureed and used.

Spices: The very basic spices i.e. salt, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder have been used.

Flavors and garnish: Vadi adds a lot of flavor to the lauki vadi. Therefore, as such, no other flavoring agent has been used. However, lemon juice is a must, and sabji should be garnished with some chopped coriander. I always use the roots of coriander too. It has a lot of flavors.

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
