Lauki Ke Chilke Ki Sabzi (bottle Gourd Peel Fry)

Vegetable peels are full of nutrients so I always thought of using them as food. I made this recipe on my own and this is best used as a side dish with plain rice. It is very easy to make and super healthy. Good for dieters as it uses minimum oil and can be made without oil also.
