Lauki Tamatar ki sabji

Anytime I ran short of time in my breakfast chores due to my dreamworld extending for a few more hours I found this recipe a life saver. Beside its health quotioent being at the top, it turns out to be an extremely tasty recipe. Take your pick at this lauki recipe at the earliest to taste the goodness.

Ingredients

lauki/bottlegurad - 1 medium - cut into 1" cubes
Potato - one big cut into 1" cubes
Tomato - 2 big finely chopped
Green Chilli - 4 chopped
jeera/cumin seeds - 2 tsp
sarson/mustard seeds - 2 tsp
Curry leaves - 10-12
Fresh coriander - 2 tbsp chopped finely
salt as per taste
oil - 2 tsp (see i told you its healthy - minimal oil)
water - 1 cup

Method:

Heat oil in a kadai. Add jeera and sarson and let it splutter. Then add curry leaves and green chillies. Now add lauki and aloo and fry for 3-4 mins. Now add tomatoes and fry for another 2-3 min till they are soft. Add water and let it cook till lauki and aloo are done. Usually unseasonal laukis do not tend to boil quickly therefore you may steam them in pressure cooker too instead of boiling in kadai. But not more than 1-2 whistles. Once lauki and aloo are done add fresh coriander and serve hot with chapati.

Tips: Check the lauki while buying. It should not be hard and try pressing it with your nail. If it pierces quickly then it tends to be good.
