powder- ½ tsp) and garam masala (
all spice powder- 1 tsp). Mix and saute a bit. Add chopped tomato ( just a bit – ½ of one regular size). Saute for 2-3 mins
till all spices blend well with tomato. Add chopped lauki and mix. Add some water (about ½ cup). Cover and cook on moderate
to high flame till lauki is almost tender. Add milk (one cup), a pinch of sugar

The same recipe can also be followed for another
version of Lau Chingudi Curry, by simply adding fried prawns or shrimps along
with lauki. Simply add salt and turmeric to prawns
and fry in any oil, not ghee.
