Final preparation 

a) Peel the lauki, cut in the centre and remove the seeds. Grate with a fine grater and massage it gently with a little salt.

b) It will leave water on its own. That may be a little excess. Drain off some of the water. Add the besan and the other ingredients. Mix them well but gently.

c) Heat up oil in a kadhai. Make even sized balls of the mix and deep fry to a crisp golden brown.

d) Serve with green chutney or ketchup
