Lauki ke Kofte – Soft Dumplings in Spiced Gravy

Lauki ke Kofte (also known as Loki ke Kofte) is a classic North Indian dish made from bottle gourd (lauki or loki), which is grated, spiced, and shaped into soft, fried dumplings (kofte). These koftas are then simmered in a rich, flavorful tomato-onion gravy that’s gently spiced and deeply satisfying.

It’s a smart way to turn a humble vegetable into a delicious main course. While lauki is often seen as bland or boring, this dish flips that idea—offering bold flavor, creamy texture, and hearty comfort.
