Ingredients: -
Bottle Gourd/Lauki/Doodhi - 1
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Milk - 5 cups
Cardamon powder - 1tsp
salt a pinch
Ghee - 2 tsp
Raisins few
Cashew few
Preparation Method: -
- Pour milk to aa thick bottom pan and bring to boil. Simmer the heat to medium and let the milk cook to reduce and get a thick consistency. Remember to stir the milk every two-three minutes so that they don't burn and stick at the bottom of the pan.
- Meanwhile cut the edges of the bottle-gourd and peel the skin. Cut it into half and scrap out the middle part of the Lauki. Wash and clean the Lauki, grate and set aside.
- In another pan, add ghee and roast cashews and raisins till golden brown and set aside.
- Add grated Lauki to the same ghee and saute for four-five minutes.
- Add this to the boiling milk and cook for another 10 mins by stirring in between till creamy and Lauki becomes soft.
- Add sugar and keep stirring to cook for another five-six minutes. Add cardamon powder and stir to mix. Switch off the stove.
- Serve warm or chilled. I prefer them being chilled. Enjoy!!!!

ReplyDelete@Ramya:- even I didn't knew it till I came to US, I saw it at one of my North-Indian friend's place.My hubby's friend's mom made it. She took some seperately for her husband who is diabetic and added splenda for him and made rest with sugar. Lot more teasure to learn from elderly people :)
