1. Grate Your Lauki Like a Pro

Lauki has big seeds, so scoop those out. Use the thick side of your grater to get the perfect texture for the stuffing.

2. Squeeze Out All the Water

Lauki's packed with water, and too much moisture can ruin your parathas. Sprinkle a little salt on it, let it sit for 5 mins, & then squeeze out all the water.

3. Mix the Dough Right

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, ajwain, kasuri methi, and semolina for that crispy texture. Use the water from the lauki to knead the dough-it makes the paratha healthier.

5. Add Roasted Gram Flour

If your stuffing is still a little watery, rolling the parathas will be a pain. Mix in some roasted gram flour to soak up the extra moisture.
