This yummy Bengali Lau baji or bottle gouard curry is very yummy and perfect match with rice or roti.

Let’s check out the ingredients : 

Lau 800 gram

Whole cumin seeds 1 tsp 

Oil 3 tbsp 

Curry powder 1/2 tsp

In a pan heat oil and then fry cumin, add onion, green chili 🌶 and fry until it’s translucent. Now add ginger garlic paste along with all spices . Add bottle gouard or Lau and cook with a lid for 5 minutes. Now stir vegetable and add half cup of water to boil the vegetables. Cover again and cook for nearly 10 minutes. Now check the vegetable if you need to boil a bit more then cook for more 5 minutes! 

In a different pan fry tofu slices. This tofu fry for few minutes, then mix it with bottle gouard vegetable. 

Voila! Yum yum Lau baji or bottle gouard fry is ready.
