Not only is doodhi eaten as a suzi for main course but it is also eaten in a dish for breakfast. Saatdhan parathas are made with 7 types of flours.

Buy the best Doodhi
When you are buying doodhi from the market, pick ones that have a smooth skin, are pale green in colour and free of cuts, spots and blemishes. The doodhi should be firm to handle and the flesh should not feel soft when pressed.
