Add all the ingredients to a bowl except ghee and oil.
Begin to knead well. The moisture begins to release from gourd and helps to bind the flour. If needed can sprinkle little water.
Pour oil and knead to a pliable dough. Set aside for 30 minutes. Make 8 equal sized balls.
Flour the rolling area and flatten a ball. Begin to roll to slightly thick parathas.
Sprinkle flour as needed and roll to paratha, slightly thicker than phulka or roti.
When all the parathas are done rolling, then heat a pan .
When the pan turns hot, transfer a paratha and begin to cook.
When tiny bubbles begin to arise, then flip and cook on the other side till brown spots are visible. Smear ghee as needed.
Finish toasting all the parathas. Stack them on a kitchen tissue to keep them soft.
Serve lauki paratha with raita, chutney or curry.
