People trying to lose weight add all kinds of items to their diet. But if weight is reduced the wrong way, the body can be harmed. Along with weight loss, the body needs hydration just as much.

In this context, drinking soup made from bottle gourd, also called dudhi, instead of eating something else has been suggested. Bottle gourd is said to be very effective for the body. It contains good amounts of potassium, vitamin C and other micronutrients.

Including a variety of vegetables in daily meals has been advised. Eating vegetables is said to help improve health, and to reduce excess fat around the belly so that the stomach looks slimmer. Bottle gourd soup does not take much time to make and can be prepared with very few ingredients.

Ingredients: bottle gourd, ghee, garlic, coriander-cumin powder, fresh coriander, black pepper powder and salt.

Method: First, peel the bottle gourd and cut it into medium-sized pieces. Then put the pieces in a pressure cooker vessel with water as needed and boil them.
