Looking for an easy, nutritious and tasty dish for everyday cooking? Bottle gourd fry with egg (lau bhaji) could be a great choice. This delicious dish can be made with few ingredients and in little time.

The mildly sweet taste of bottle gourd and the nutrition of egg combine to make an excellent dish to eat with rice. Here is how you can make bottle gourd fry with egg very easily.

First peel the bottle gourd, wash it well and cut it into small pieces. Heat oil in a karai (wok) and add chopped onion. When the onion softens a little, add turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt to taste. Mix the spices well, then add the cut bottle gourd to the pan.

Now stir everything together and keep frying. After a while the gourd will release water and slowly cook in it. When the water has almost dried up, crack two eggs and mix them well with the gourd. Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle chopped spring onion over the top just before turning off the heat. Serve the bottle gourd fry with egg piping hot.
