Bottlegourd Fritters is a gluten free delicious snack recipe made using bottlegourd and chickpea flour. The fritters can also be served as a main dish by combining it with a rich silky tomato gravy, often referred as \u201cGhiya Ke Kofte\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bottlegourd is known by many other names like \u201cGhiya\u201d, \u201cLauki\u201d and \u201cKaddu\u201d etc. It is interesting and sometimes funny that how the same vegetable is known by different names across various regions. Till now, I had lived mostly in North India where bottlegourd is referred as \u201cGhiya\u201d or \u201cLauki\u201d in Hindi. After shifting to Hyderabad, I went for grocery shopping and also bought bottlegourd along with other veggies. While I was coming out of the store I noticed \u201cKaddu\u201d in bill, which means \u201cPumpkin\u201d in northern region of India. I went back to the billing counter & tried explaining to them that I have not bought pumpkin and there is some mistake in the bill. The guy on the billing counter (who appeared quite confident) picked out bottlegourd from my shopping bag, saying(in slight South India accent) \u201cMadam, Kaddu liya to hai aapne\u201d (Madam see you have bought bottlegourd). That day I got to know that bottlegourd is also known as \u201cKaddu\u201d in Hyderabad ???? .<\/p>\n

Bottlegourd due to its high water content and low calories is often recommended in weight loss diet.  Some people even have its juice everyday. It consists of vitamins, essential minerals, sodium & potassium etc. In this recipe by combining it with chickpea flour, its nutritional value is further enhanced. Through this recipe I have tried to make it in a healthier way by air frying it. The fritters come out to be soft and flavourful, perfect to be enjoyed with fresh coriander chutney or any dip of your choice.<\/p>\n

There are two variations discussed below. The first one is to have these as Fritters which you can have as snacks<\/a>\/starters<\/a> and the second way  is to combine it with a gravy to turn it into a main dish. I have explained AIR FRYER method for making these fritters or kofte but you can even deep fry them. The recipe is GLUTEN FREE <\/a>and also a great option for giving in kids tiffin<\/a> as mid day snack.

The recipe for gravy is discussed after the recipe of kofte\/fritters. For more AIRFRYER recipes<\/a>, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
