Lauki or bottle guard khichdi is one easy recipe that can be made in a jiffy. I have learned this recipe from my Mother-in-law and ate it the first time during Navratri. It can be made during fasts or vrat. With few basic ingredients, you can easily make this in no time.
If you will read on the internet, you might find different versions of lauki khichdi being made. But this one has just lauki and peanuts. Peanuts or munghfali is another ingredient which is used during fast and it will give that nutty texture to it.

- Dry roast peanuts and coarsely crush them. Keep it aside.
- Heat ghee/oil in a kadhai. Once heated, add curry leaves, green chilies, and jeera. Sauté them well.
