Lauki/dhoodhi Paratha

Lauki parathas are rich in calcium,fibre and protein.They make a good travelling healthy snack also as they stay well for couple of days without refrigeration.I usually make these parathas on Sundays for brunch as these are very tasty and I only need to make peanut chutney or kadhi to complement them.Those who don't have liking for lauki vegetable,can have in thier diet in paratha form.Trust me you will start liking bottle gourd:)

2. Mix all the ingredients and knead into a soft dough using water only if required otherwise there is no need to add water.Let the dough rest for 15-20min.



3.Divide the dough into equal portions in small ball forms.
