Heat a heavy bottomed pan, add the grated lauki and saute until the water completely evaporates from the lauki. This will take around 10 to 15 minutes.

Take a big bowl, add the whole wheat flour, evaporated grated lauki, green chilli, grated ginger, all the spice powders, season with salt and make a soft dough using the required amount of water.

Heat a skillet on medium heat, and place the rolled paratha on top and allow it to cook on one side. After about 10 to 15 seconds, flip the paratha.

Smear some ghee to cook the paratha on both the sides Cook until you see golden brown spots on both sides.

Prepare the rest of the Parathas in a similar way and serve hot.
