Simple kaddu (Lauki) ki kheer, but with a new twist to it by adding readymade Badam mix. It's a beautiful fusion with a lovely flavour and aroma. Though it's a simple one, readymade mix makes it an interesting one. The ingredients can be altered according to one's own preference. As it is already tried, I have given the exact measurements but you can always increase or decrease as desired. Serve it warm or cold. It is yum both the ways. I sometimes do add Fresh Cream also to make it more rich. It adds an element of richness to the Kheer. If the Malai is homemade, it's even more better. Khoya or Mawa can also be added but I don't prefer store bought one. If at all I add it, I make it at home. Enjoy this delicious Dessert.

Steps

45 minutes

1

Wash Basmati Rice, soak it in enough water and leave it to dry.
2

After it dries, powder it and keep aside. Do not let it dry fully. It should be semi dried. It's okay if it is not a fine powder.
3

Boil milk and allow it to simmer on a low heat until it reduces to 3/4th of it's original volume. Add the grated Bottle Gourd and cook until done. Add the condensed milk, powdered rice, cardamom powder, sugar and the readymade badam mix.
4

Stir it briskly and adjust the consistency to your liking. Switch off the heat and garnish with Pistachios. Serve it cold or warm as desired. No need to add any kesar as we are using the readymade mix here. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
