BOTTLE GOURD PAN CAKE l LAUKI DOSA l DUDHI DOSA l CHORAKKAI DOSA

Bottle Gourd / Dudhi / Lauki /Chorakkai / Chorakka has got many medicinal values.  The juice is served as a valuable medicine for excessive thirst due to diabetes, diarrhea.  It is beneficial for stomach acidity, indigestion and ulcers.  It is rich in essencial minerals, protein, iron and fibre.  Mostly used as a vegetable for stir fry, in dals, and soups.  I also use it while making Pav Bhaji.  Today, I made pan cake with it like we make Vellarikka Dosa.  Vellarikka dosa is prepared with rice  and  Cucumber but I prepared this pan cake in Suji/Rava/Semolina.

It tastes awesome with Chutney / Pickle / Gun powder etc.
