Doodhi ka Halwa /Bottlegourd halwa


Ingredients:

Bottlegourd/Doodhi - 1 medium size

Milk - 1 1/2 cups

Sugar - 5 Tblsps

Ghee - 4-5 tsps

Elaichi powder/Cardomom powder -1/2 tsp

Method:

Take the bottlegourd and peel the skin and grate it nicely into fine pieces.

Now take a kadai put 3 tsps ghee and roast the grated doodhi.

When the raw smell goes pour milk over the doodhi and keep on stirring in medium flame.

When the doodhi is cooked nicely in milk and the milk evaporates,add sugar and cook on medium flame.

Keep stirring till the sugar also gets mixed nicely with the doodhi and dries up.
