Festivals in India are incomplete without sweet boondi. These tiny sweet round balls are made of besan and dipped in sugar syrup. Lauki halwa is a sweet Indian dessert made with grated bottle gourd, milk, ghee, sugar and flavored with cardamom and nuts. I have made Colourful Sweet boondi which was served in lauki halwa bowl.
