Bottle gourd halwa is very simple, delicious and healthy dessert made by grating the lauki and cooking them along with the milk & sugar and garnished with nuts. There are many ways to make this dessert using khova / cream / condensed milk either in pressure cooker or on pan. Today, I am sharing the simple method using the milk. I didn't use food color instead I used saffron for natural color & flavour.
Ingredients :
- Bottle gourd - 1 medium sized ( around 3 cups)
- Ghee - 3 tbsp
- Sugar (or) sugar syrup - 1/2 cup (adjust to your taste level)
- Milk - 3 cups
- Nuts (Cashewnuts, almonds, dry grapes), roasted - 2 tbsp
- Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
- Saffron (optional)

3. Now, add milk and cook them over medium flame stirring occasionally until the ghee leaves the sides of the pan.
4. Add sugar syrup or sugar & cook until halwa consistency is reached.
