Shana Dudhi 300g
Description
Profile: Mild, Hydrating & Cooling
The Vibe: A kitchen essential for light, wholesome meals peeled, chopped, and ready to go.
Shana Dudhi (also known as Lauki, Bottle Gourd, or Ghiyad) is a staple in Ayurvedic cooking, prized for its digestibility and high water content. Shana takes the work out of this versatile vegetable by providing pre-cleaned, uniform cubes. Because it’s flash-frozen at the source, it retains its delicate, sweet flavour and firm-yet-tender texture.
Key Highlights
-
Zero Prep: No peeling, de-seeding, or slippery chopping required.
-
Low Calorie: Naturally low in fat and calories but high in dietary fiber and essential minerals.
-
Perfect Texture: Pieces are cut to a size that holds its shape in curries but melts beautifully when pressure-cooked or grated for sweets.
-

Quick Prep

Serving Suggestion

Dudhi Chana Dal: A classic pairing where the mild dudhi balances the nutty protein of chana dal.
-
The Sweet Route: Thaw and grate the cubes to make Dudhi Halwa—a rich, cardamom-scented dessert.
