Doodhi ka halwa..!!!

             Bottle gourd or Lauki or doodhi ka Halwa is a delicatable sweet dish that can be eaten during Navratri Fast or any other fast...Bottle gourd helps aid digestion n it's rich in fibre and nutrients which gives enough energy during fast.. I am sharing my recipe of lauki ka halwa below...!!!


 Ingredients-
2 cups of Bottle Gourd or Lauki (peeled and graded)
2  Tbsp of Desi ghee or unsalted clarified butter
2 cup of milk
1/4 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Milkmaid
1/3 cup khoya or rabri
Pinch of green cardamom powder
Cashews, Almonds, Raisins, Pistachios (crush all dry fruits except Raisins) You can take dry fruits as per your wish

Method-
Take a wok or pan or kadhai put 2 Tbsps of Ghee or clarified butter, 2 cups of Bottle gourd or lauki in it with 2 cups of milk and let it cook for about 20 minutes till it dries completely.
Then add sugar (keep the flame medium) When sugar dissolves add khoya or Rabri in it Mix all things well  then add Milkmaid to it and add all the crushed dry fruits this time and keep stirring for more 5-6 minutes
At last add pinch of green cardamom powder and serve hot or at room tempreture

You can keep this halwa for two days in fridge and microwave it when you want to eat it but keep in mind halwa should be well dried if their is any water content in it, that will spoil it.

Serve with some dryfruits on top.
