About Bottlegourd bhajiya
Bottlegourd Bhajiya, a popular snack in Indian cuisine, is a deep-fried dish made with slices of bottlegourd (also known as lauki or calabash) coated in a spiced gram flour (besan) batter. The batter typically includes turmeric, chili powder, cumin, and coriander, lending bold flavors to the crispy fritters. While bottlegourd is a nutrient-rich vegetable high in water content, fiber, and essential vitamins, the deep-frying process adds significant calories and fat, making it more of an indulgent treat than a daily health food. Enjoyed with chutneys or dips, it offers a flavorful way to savor vegetables but should be consumed in moderation to maintain a balanced diet. The dish reflects India’s tendency to creatively elevate humble ingredients into crowd-pleasing comfort food.
