Bottle Gourd Bhujia is a flavorful Indian side dish made from bottle gourd (lauki), gram flour (besan), spices, and cooking oil. Originating from North Indian cuisine, this savory dish transforms the mild-flavored bottle gourd into crispy, golden fritters with a blend of cumin, turmeric, chili, and coriander seeds. Packed with fiber, vitamins C and B, and minerals like magnesium and potassium from the bottle gourd, it supports digestion and hydration. The gram flour adds protein and antioxidants, promoting heart health. However, due to deep frying, Bottle Gourd Bhujia is high in calories and fat, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. To make it healthier, it can be baked or pan-fried with minimal oil. A popular accompaniment to rice or chapatis, Bottle Gourd Bhujia is a delicious way to incorporate vegetables into your diet without compromising on taste.
