Bottle gourd(Lauki) Thepla

I had a bottle gourd in refrigerator since 2-3 days and was thinking of how to use it. Simple curry of this is much common so i tried to recall what my Mummy used to make of it,and got this wonderful memory in my mind . So this was now final that I was going to make tasty thepla using lauki I have. I remember that I have heard and read this so many times that Bottle gourd is good to eat and has many advantages of eating it to keep away heart trouble and so many others... I have got more info on this too, check out for bottle gourd - food that heals , if it is so advantageous to eat it, I think I must prepare different kind of food out of it regularly . :)
this time it was turn to make Thepla of it , Here is my recipe for Thepla.

Ingredients:
2 cups wheat flour
1 small sized tender Bottle gourd(Lauki/Dudhi) peeled and grated
7-8 cloves of garlic,crushed
2 tbsp oil ( for dough),
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder,
1 tsp Chili Powder,
salt to taste,
oil for frying

Method:
Take a small sized Bottle gourd peel it and grate finely. Do not let the water of this get wasted ,Instead use this in preparing dough , it will add better taste to thepla when it is ready.
Take wheat flour in a big bowl,add all the ingredients. use a little water to make a smooth dough of it.







Make lemon sized balls from the dough, and roll each into 5"-6 "round . Place vit on a hot griddle or roti tawa . roast a little from one side (as shown in middle figure above) and change the side , then spread little oil from sides to center. do the same for both sides. repaeat the same for all balls. here is your Thepla ready to serve. :)
Can be served with pickle- Chhunda.
Best accompanied with Aloo ki sukhi Bhaji(Some other time I 'll post recipe for this too ) when traveling, as it remains good for 2-3 days at room temperature.

One can also add sesame seeds and chopped coriander leaves to it while preparing dough,that will also taste Yummyyyyyyyyyy..................:P
