HAPPY NEW YEAR
Bottle gourd is known by various names like Opo Squash, Long Melon or Calabash in English and as Lauki, Ghiya, Doodhi in hindi and as Suraikkaii in Tamil. Bottle gourd is a treasure chest of goodness. Let me list some health benefits of bottle gourd-
- Bottle gourd comprises of 96% of water so it is very good for kids and people with digestive disorders as it is very light on stomach and relieves constipation.
- It has got only 12 calories per 100 grams so it is ideal for weight watchers.
- It is very high in sodium and potassium and is helpful for people with hypertension.
Now coming back to the event there are some rules for this event-
- "Bottle Gourd" has to be the star ingredient in the dish.
