Lauki ke chilke ki Sabzi/Chutney with Peanuts (Bottelgourd Peels Sabzi)

 
Lauki (Bottle Gourd) also known as Dudhi has many nutritional attributes, high in fiber and low in calories. It is rich in B complex vitamins and minerals like calcium, phosphorous and iron. It provides many health benefits too.
Mostly I throw the peels of lauki while making the curry/sabzi from it, but I forgot that the peels of lauki has the same nutritional value and hence should  be used every time instead of thrown. This sabzi/chutney is so easy, delicious and hardly took 10-12 minutes to cook.
