Carrying on with my Vrat recipes, today I am sharing Bottle Gourd Kheer or Lauki ki kheer. When you are fasting it is recommended that you have more of fruits and deserts. Bottle gourd or Lauki or Doodi is cooling, healthy and delicious. It is quite simple like regular kheer and it takes lesser time and the texture and method is very similar to cooking Kheer or Gajjar Halwa but this is easier.
It is a very easy to digest Vrat ka Khana if made with just milk and sugar. But if you want to make it for a special occasion then you can add condensed milk guests and cream to make a rich version of Lauki ki kheer.If your kids do not like veggies then just tell them that the shredded gourd is glass noodles! Then watch them lap it up.
