When I go shopping for vegetables the first one that would come to mind would be doodhi. The soft flesh is really packed with a lot of health benefits like cooling the body , aiding in weight loss to name some.
Doodhi juice is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B, sodium, iron and potassium and works as an anti-oxidant that could help the health conscious lot.
For many a years this has been my favorite go to veggie .. I have even replaced many a potato recipes to include or replace with doodhi and believe me the hubby has not been able to make out the difference.
I have a heard how this is not a favorite of many people or even that some kids refuse to eat this. I do get surprised to say the least because I personally would reserve those reactions to a bitter gourd aka karela or the slimy eggplant.
Moving on to this simple yet delicious recipe.
