Bottle Gourd kofta curry

In a bowl peel and grate the lauki and add salt and black
pepper then squeeze well.

Now add the besan and spices and mix well and prepare
kofta. While forming shape you can add 1 raisin or 1
tamarind pulp(This is completely optional,you can omit it
But i like it so)

Now coat the koftas with corn flour and deep fry. Drain on
the absorbent paper and keep aside.

Important to Note:
After grating squeeze the bottle gourd to make the shape

be low to medium flame. otherwise the koftas will break in
oil.
