Both Dad and I bought anapakaya (bottle gourd/lauki) this week and I was wondering what to do with so much anapakaya when I realised I had not made Anapakaya-Pesara Pappu Koora in ages
Today's recipe - LaukiChanaDal (Bottle Gourd Cooked in Lentils) uses split bengal gram, bottle gourd also known as opo squash and my handy, best friend in the kitchen - a pressure cooker
Wash, peel, discard seeds and cut bottle gourd to small pieces. Lauki Moong Dalsabzi or Sorakaya Pesara Pappu andhra style koora/kura also called anapakaya/sorakkai or sorakaya kootu in tamil and lauki moong dal recipe in hindi
Roast the red chili, ChanaDal, Peanuts, Sesame Seeds until they turn to light brown color. As I got bored with the routine varieties of this winter squash vegetable, today I have twisted this in Bagara Style by using the Spice powder i use for Bagara Baingan Curry and that resulted in Bagara Lauki
Wash chanandal and pressure cook along with bottle gourd pieces. Bottle Gourd/Lauki - 1 cup cubed. Chanadal/Kadala parippu - 1/4 cup. Soak chanadal for atleast 1 hour. Add cooked chana and lauki, cover and cook for 10 minutes on low flame. Add cooked chana and lauki, cover and cook for 10 minutes on low flame
