When sautéed in ghee, bottle gourd sheds its raw smell and takes on a rather rich aroma, which fits perfectly into a milky kheer.

The addition of milk powder helps to bring about a luxuriant feel to the milk without requiring to boil it for a long time, while cardamom powder and almond garnish add to the opulence.

This Doodhi Kheer is indeed a delight to the palate! Nevertheless, it is also a pleasure to prepare as it is conveniently ready in less than 10 minutes!

Relish this kheer as a dessert or with Rotis / Puris / Parathas .
