Lauki ki kheer ( Bottle gourd pudding)

Hi Friends,
It has been sometime since I shared a dessert recipe...let's make Lauki ki kheer today.
LAUKI KI KHEER:

INGREDIENTS:
Lauki (Bottle gourd)
Choti Elaichi (Green  cardamom)
Desi ghee
Doodh (Milk)
Cheeni (Sugar)
Pista (Pistachio)
Kaaju (Cashew nuts)

METHOD:
Peel, wash and grate lauki/doodhi/bottle gourd.
In a thick bottomed pan take some desi ghee on medium heat. Add ground choti elaichi and grated lauki and fry till lauki starts turning a little red. Now add milk into it and let it cook on low flame. Keep adding  milk and stir  from time to time to ensure that the kheer doesn't get burnt. The proportion of lauki and milk you can decide as per your taste- for creamy thick kheer, we need to have more milk and less lauki.
Once lauki is cooked and is of desired thickness, add sugar and cook for another 5 minutes.
Your lauki ki kheer is ready- garnish with pista and kaju shavings and serve it chilled.

TRICK: You can convert this tasty kheer into kulfi by adding some more condensed milk and setting it in desired moulds in your freezer.
