Method
Grate the lauki and boil it. You can boil it in a sauce pan or in pressure cooker. When the lauki is boiled, strain the excess water and squeeze all the juice out of the lauki. Take the curd and whip it through a hand whisker or in blender. Add milk to reduce the thickness of the curd. You can add water also. Now add all the spices. If like to have it sweet in taste rather then salty, so you can add more sugar. Now add the boiled lauki and keep in fridge to chill the raita. Serve it with hot chapatis and naan.
Note:
- Add salt just before serving otherwise it'll make the raita sour in taste.
- Always use fresh curd to make raita.
- You can make it purly sweet. Don't add salt and pepper. Add more sugar to make it perfectly sweet. It'll make a wonderful sweet dish.
- You can add the lauki directly if you like the taste of raw lauki.
