Procedure

• Before preparing the lauki, we look at preparing the paneer stuffing at first
• Take a deep pan and heat a tablespoon of Doctors’ Choice Refined Soybean Oil. Add the cumin seeds and chopped onions. Sauce the mixture until they become soft and transparent
• Add the capsicum, paneer, salt, coriander powder, and red chili flakes. Mix it all well and cook it for roughly 1-2 mins. Set it aside to cool once done
• Peel the gourd and boil it with 1 tbsp salt. Let it cool for a while. Once done remove the pith inside it with a spoon
• Heat 2 tbsp of Refined Soybean Oil in a pan and place the gourd on it. Cook it until it turns brown and crisp on all sides
• Fill the paneer into the gourd and cut it into thick slices. Place them into the pan and let them cook till brown
• To make the gravy heat 1 tbsp of oil and add the cumin seeds. Once they crackle add the onions and cook till they are transparent
• Add the chopped tomatoes. Further add turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, leftover paneer and the gourd. Cook all well
• Once they begin to separate, use a hand blender to make a thin paste of the mixture in a pan. Add 1 cup of water and let it cook for a few minutes
• Add sugar, kasoori methi, and the slices of gourd and boil it till the gravy thickens. Garnish the dish with coriander leaves and thick cream
