Lauki Kheer (Gourd Pudding) is not only tasty, it’s also very easy to digest. Let’s learn to make Lauki Kheer today.

You can prepare Lauki Kheer (Gourd Pudding) with Mava too, but then the flavour of this kheer is no longer of the lauki (Gourd). That’s why we are not using Mava in this pudding.

Ingredients

Milk – I liter, full cream.
Lauki (Bottle Gourd) – ½ KGs.
Clarified Butter (Ghee) – 1 tablespoon.
Cashew nuts – 25 (Cut each Cashew into 6-7 pieces).
Dried Raisins (Kismis) – 30 (Remove the stalks and wash).
Sugar – 75 Gms.
Cardamom – 4-5 (Peel and ground).
Almonds – 4 (Cut into thin stripes)

Method

Lauki ki kheer

Put milk for boiling in a thick-bottomed pot.

Peel the skin from the Lauki (bottle gourd), wash it, remove the seeds and grate it finely.

Cook the grated Lauki (bottle gourd) in the micro-wave for 5 minutes, or in a cooker. Let it cool, and then squeeze out the water if any. Heat the ghee in a frying pan, and fry the lauki in the ghee.

When the milk starts boiling, add the lauki, cashews and raisins to it and stir with a stirring spoon. Cook it on low heat. Keep stirring every 3-4 minutes. Cook the Kheer until the lauki and milk are mixed well with each other and acquire a thick consistency. Add sugar to the Kheer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes.

The Lauki Kheer is ready. Turn off the stove, add the cardamoms to the kheer and mix well. Take out the kheer into a bowl, and garnish it with the almond stripes.

This pudding is very tasty. You can serve it hot or cold to your guests, or as dessert with the

dinner.
