    Dudhi Bateta na Shaak is a delectable curry made with bottle gourd, potatoes, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and some ground spices. As simple as this sounds, this curry is very flavorful. So if you are someone like me who ran away from lauki all their life, please give this recipe a try. Bonus points, my toddler loves it too.

    Dudhi Bateta Nu Shaak | Lauki Aloo Sabzi

    Popular Names of Bottle Gourd

    • Bottle Gourd
    • Lauki (Hindi)
    • Dudhi (Gujarati)
    • Sorakkai (Tamil)
    • Sorakaya (Telegu)
    • Ghiya (Hindi)
    • Opo Squash (English)

    God! This vegetable has gained popularity not only in Indian cuisines but also in Global Cuisines. Growing up I refrained from eating any squash family veggies. I think the soft texture was the reason, or the way it was prepared could be the reason.

    But I have fallen in love with this recipe that is prepared at my maternal grandma's home. It is so simple, vegan, and scrumptious, that even my toddler loves it.

    How to Cut the Bottle Gourd?

    While buying bottle gourd make sure the color its color is pale green. It shouldn't have any cut marks or blemishes. The skin should be smooth, and it should be firm to handle and not soft when pressed.

    Cut either ends of the dudhi. And discard the stems. Now using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin of the dudhi. Now cut it in half, and then cut the two halves lengthwise. Now cut it into forths, and make 1/2 inch dice for this curry.

    How to Make Dudhi Bateta nu Shaak in the Instant Pot ?

    I make this curry on both the stovetop and instant pot. It is extremely easy to make this curry either way.

    Here's how I make it in the Instant Pot.

    Use the measurements from the recipe card.

    Add Oil to the instant pot. Next, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and asafetida (hing).

    Once the tempering spices start to crackle, add finely chopped tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, cumin-coriander powder, and salt. let the tomatoes turn mushy, add chopped bottle gourd and potatoes. Mix well.

    Add water. Close the Instant Pot Lid, and set the vent on the sealing side.

    Pressure cook it manually for 6 minutes and then NPR at 10 minutes.

    Tips to Make the Dudhi Bateta Nu Shaak

    • Cut the Bottle gourd bigger than Potato Pieces. Bottle Gourd has an intrinsic amount of water, so it becomes softer and mushier as it cooks.
    • You can add small finely chopped onion to this curry, after the tempering spices crackle.
    • This is a perfect recipe to add in your weekly menu. Make the instant pot version to make your weekday meals easy and nutritious.
    • Adjust the spices, if you are making this for your toddler.
    • Occasionally I like to add 1/2 tsp garam masala to this curry, and it tastes amazing.

    Ingredients

    • 1 Tbsp Oil
    • 1/2 Tsp Mustard Seeds
    • 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
    • 1/8 Tsp Hing
    • 1/3 Cup Tomatoes Finely Chopped
    • 2 Tsp Ginger garlic Paste
    • 1 Tbsp Cilantro Stems
    • 1 Tsp Red Chili Powder
    • 1 Tsp Cumin Coriander Powder
    • 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
    • 1 Tsp Salt
    • 300 Gms Bottlegourd Chopped into Medium Sized Cubes
    • 150 Gms Potatoes Chopped into Small Sized Cubes
    • 2 Cups Water If you want rassa, if not 1 Cup will be okay.
    • 1/2 Tsp Sugar Optional
    • 1-2 Tbsp Cilantro Finely chopped for garnish

    Instructions

    • Cut the bottle gourd into 1/2 inch pieces and potatoes in 1/4 inch pieces.
    • To a heavy bottom pot, add oil. Let it heat on medium flame.
    • Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and hing. Let the mustard seeds and cumin seeds crackle.
    • Add tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, and cilantro stems.
    • Add all the spices, turmeric, red chili powder, cumin-coriander powder and salt.
    • Cook until the tomatoes are mushy.
    • Now add the chopped bottle gourd and potatoes.
    • Add water, and let it simmer on medium flame. Add sugar to balance the tartness of the tomatoes, but this is completely optional. I only add it if the tomatoes are very sour.
    • Once the bottle gourd and potatoes are cooked, turn off the stove and garnish with lots of fresh cilantro.
    • Serve it with rice and. rotis.

    Notes

    • Cut the bottle gourd pieces bigger than potatoes for the curry. 
    • The bottle gourd can oxidize and turn black, so soak both potatoes and the lauki in water. Strain the water, and then add the potatoes and lauki to the curry. 
    • Add water only if you want the curry with rassa. 
    • Adjust the spices as per your toddler's or kids prefrences if you are making it for them .

    • Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story. 

I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side. 

I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU. 

So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten  better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

    • Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious! 

📌Recipe📌

🌱 For the Curry Base

• 1 Tbsp Oil
• 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
• 2 Green Cardamoms
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
• 1 Dried Red Chili
• 1 Medium Onion Sliced
• 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
• 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
• 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
• 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 8-10 Cashews

For The Curry

• 2 Tbsp Butter
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder 
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
• 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
• 1 Tsp Garam Masala
• 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
• Adjust Salt if needed

📌 step by step📌

1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown. 
3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften. 
4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base. 
5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency. 
6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt. 
7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft. 
8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
9. Serve hot!

    • Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again. 

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“ 

If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.

    Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story.

    I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side.

    I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU.

    So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

    Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious!

    📌Recipe📌

    🌱 For the Curry Base

    • 1 Tbsp Oil
    • 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
    • 2 Green Cardamoms
    • 1 Bay Leaf
    • 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
    • 1 Dried Red Chili
    • 1 Medium Onion Sliced
    • 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
    • 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
    • 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
    • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
    • 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
    • 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
    • 1 Tsp Salt
    • 8-10 Cashews

    For The Curry

    • 2 Tbsp Butter
    • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder
    • 1 Tsp Salt
    • 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
    • 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
    • 1 Tsp Garam Masala
    • 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
    • Adjust Salt if needed

    📌 step by step📌

    1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown.
    3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften.
    4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base.
    5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency.
    6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt.
    7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft.
    8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
    9. Serve hot!

    Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again.

    “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“

    If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.
