Bottle gourd or lauki is packed with nutrients, but it is often ignored at the dining table, especially by children. However, you can completely transform its image by turning it into a delicious and crispy evening snack known as Lauki Fingers. If you are looking for a unique and tasty companion for your evening tea, this recipe is a must-try.
Why This Snack is a Family Favorite
Lauki fingers are crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside. They are prepared using basic ingredients available in your kitchen, making them quick and hassle-free. It is a clever way to feed nutritious bottle gourd to kids who usually make excuses to avoid traditional lauki curries.
Simple Ingredients and Preparation
To make these crispy fingers, you will need grated bottle gourd, semolina (suji), cumin seeds, white sesame seeds, and basic spices like red chilli powder. The ingredients are cooked together into a thick dough-like mixture, shaped into fingers, and then deep-fried until golden and crunchy.
Serve these hot and crispy lauki fingers with green chutney or tomato ketchup for a delightful evening treat that the whole family will appreciate.
