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!!!!
