Most people find it boring but few like me love it, bottleguard(lauki) has many names like guava bean, white flowered gourd, dudhi, ghia and more and is a very nutritious vegetable. It has many medicinal qualities like balancing liver function, is an excellent source of fiber, very light on stomach and also helps in treating urinary problems.
