I usually don't like lauki. It needs to prepared with so many seasonings and spices. But with coconut and onion flavorings it should taste good.

Always wanted to know how to cook lauki. Thanks for the recipe and lovely picture. Lauki is considered a very healthy vegetable and a body coolant. Good for summer meals.
