This time for the Blog Hop Wednesday Series I have chosen Bottle Gourd juice which is an ideal one for weight watchers. I have been paired with Raksha this time around. This juice recipe reminded me of the usefulness of Bottle Gourd. I am aware of this juice being prescribed by Nature Cure Clinics as part of body cleansing and detoxification. I have been thinking of making this juice for myself since a long time and thanks to Blog Hop, I finally could make it and enjoy every drop of it!!
In my ongoing learning process, I have so far learnt that - (Sources here and here)
1. Bottle Gourd plays an important role in the Indian Ayurvedic System.
2. Its nutritional profile is exceptional. 96.1% of the vegetable is just water thereby an ideal thirst quencher !!
3. It is helpful in the cure of urinary disorders and also good for diabetics.
4. It is supposedly easy on the stomach too.
5. It is also good for the eyes.

Ingredients -
Sorrakaya / Bottle Gourd/Anapakaya/Lauki/Doodhi cubed 10-12 pieces
Tomato chopped 2 Tbsp (Optional)
Black Salt / Kala Namak or Saindhava Lavanam
Pepper as required
Jeera Powder as required
Method Of Preparation -
Blend the bottle gourd and tomato until there are no lumps adding as much water as needed.
I added about 1/4 cup of water.
Mix in black salt, pepper powder and jeera powder.
Please don't strain the juice and discard the pulp as the pulp is full of fiber !
Drink it fresh without refrigerating and allow the goodness of Bottle Gourd seep into your system !!
