Tips & Secrets
- Using tender, seedless bottle gourd is the absolute secret to achieving a professional-grade magnifique smooth texture.
- Always allow the cooked lauki to cool completely; adding hot lauki will cause the yogurt to split or turn professional-grade watery.
- Squeezing out the excess water from the cooked lauki is mandatory specifically to maintain a professional-grade magnifique thickness.
