Lauki (Bottle Gourd) Puree

Ingredients:

• ½ medium Lauki (bottle gourd): Peeled and cubed

• As needed Water: For steaming

• Small pinch Cumin: Optional, after 8 months only

‍

Recipe:

1. Steam lauki cubes for 10–12 minutes until very tender.

2. Blend to a completely smooth puree.

3. Add cumin if using.

4. Thin with cooking water to appropriate consistency.

💡 Tip: Lauki has a very mild flavour that accepts other additions well. Mix with dal puree for a protein boost, or with sweet potato for extra flavour depth.
