Bottle Gourd Halwa (दूधी का हलवा )

Desserts make holidays more sweet and memorable. I am sharing recipe of one of my favorite dessert.

Ingredients:-
(1). 2 cup grated bottle gourd
(2). half cup 2% warm milk
(3). half cup mawa (optional)
(4). 14 oz Organic Condensed Milk
(5). 1 table spoon ghee
(6). 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
(7). 1 table spoon chopped almond and cashew

Recipe:-
First of all squeeze the water from bottle gourd by hand, this will help in fast cooking. Take deep nonstick pan and coat all its surface with ghee or unsalted butter. Put this greased nonstick pan on stove, add ghee and grated bottle gourd, saute for 5 minutes. Add warm half cup milk and let it cook for 5 minutes on medium heat, by this time bottle gourd starts to cook and becomes mushy. Stir in between Add condensed milk and cook on low to medium heat until halwa starts becoming thick(approx 15 minute).  At this point add mawa and mix well and cook for another 5 -7 minutes (this step is optional). Switch off the stove. Now add cardamom powder and  mix it well.

Decorate halwa with chopped nuts.Serve hot or chilled.

Tip:- You can add green food color to bring bottle gourd color.
