Lauki Chana Dal Pulav

Lauki Chana Dal Pulav was one of the experiments I did on a lazy day. Ha ha if you know me, as much as I love cooking , I also love easy cooking which is healthy too. So since childhood I have been loving lauki chana dal and eating it with rice is the best combination in my opinion. However one of days when we were busy packing out stuff for shifting to Bangalore from Mumbai and cooking simple was my agenda, I tried this.

Oh its came out well and since the lauki or bottle gourd is grated for picky eaters this comes out out nice. They won’t know about what all you added in this. So it’s kind of complete meal in itself with dal, rice and vegetable combo. But ya it being pulav the dal won’t be over cooked and hence you can see it in granules and thus making it different than khichadi. That’s the run of having pulav. Lauki is quite a simple tasting vegetable and hence adding a little spices here and there adds more taste. I loved serving this with raita and some salad and that’s all you would want for a meal.
