Ash Gourd or Petha Kaddu ki Kheer by me as a beautiful fusion with a lovely flavour and aroma. Though it's a simple one, addition of cool Ash Gourd 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 on any special holiday or occasions as well as Festivals.
This luscious Kheer says it all. Beautiful looking and absolutely flavourful and delicious. You will love it's awesome aroma.
A perfect choice for any day mostly Sundays for an after meal special Dessert. It's a great treat for the whole family.
And with Ash Gourd for a change, it's even more beautiful.
Happy Slurping with Zeen!
Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

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.
