This is the real thing - a healthy snack that is full of protein, calcium and fibre. You'll be amazed at how easily this traditional Gujarati dish can be made 'healthy' by skipping the oil that is considered so essential to cook them. They also make a great travelling snack, as they stay well for a couple of days without refrigeration and also beautifully complement a hot cup of masala tea.
3/4 cup grated bottle gourd (doodhi / lauki)
2 cups whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1/2 cup low fat curds (dahi)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1 1/2 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp oil
salt to taste
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling
