Notes

** If you are using a pan, cook the curry for about 50-60 minutes with 1 ½ cup of water. Keep stirring in between and mash the pieces a bit to make it cook faster.
If you want to make a vegan dish, replace the Ghee with coconut oil or any other mild or neutral oil.
Chose a fresh piece of lauki or else you would get a lot of seeds in the dish which would ruin the taste."
