We have put together an easy lauki kheer recipe that you can try this summer and satisfy your sweet cravings in a healthy way:
Ingredients you’ll need to get started: shredded gourd – 1 cup; milk, 2 cups; cardamom powder – 1/2 tsp; dry fruit chopped – 1 tbsp; Desi ghee – 1 tsp; Sugar – 1/2 cup.
Here’s what to do:
The lauki is first peeled before being grated and set aside in a bowl.
Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Turn off the heat when the milk starts to boil, just once or twice.
Take another pan, heat the desi ghee, then stir the grated lauki into the melted ghee and cook until it becomes soft.
Add the heated milk to the pan once it has reached the right softness. Don’t forget to keep stirring. Continue cooking over low heat. The milk should thicken well to indicate that the kheer is well cooked. Then add sugar and cardamom powder to taste. At this stage, add some chopped dry fruits and mix well. Boil the kheer for about 3-4 minutes, so that the sugar dissolves well in the kheer. Then turn off the heat and serve in a bowl. Garnish dried fruit on top of this delicacy. If you don’t want to use dairy milk, you can also replace it with almond milk.
