Lauki Halwa Ingredients
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 liter of full-fat milk
- 500 g Lauki(Bottlegourd)
- 3 tbsp Ghee
- Cashews, Almonds, and Raisins
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 tsp Hari Elaichi powder
How To Make Lauki Ka Halwa
1. To make Bottle Gourd Halwa, take 2 tablespoons of water in a heavy-bottomed Kadai, then add 1 liter of full-fat milk.
2. Turn on the gas flame and let the milk come to a boil. Then, stir the milk often and allow it to thicken. Keep scraping the Malai that sticks to the sides.
3. As it reaches a Rabri-like consistency, we will turn off the flame and set it aside.
4. Take a Bottle Gourd, approximately 500g, wash it properly first, peel the outer layer, and grate it into medium-sized pieces.
5. Heat 1 tbsp Ghee in a Pan. We will roast Cashews, Almonds, and Raisins on a low flame for a minute. Keep separately in a bowl.
6. In the same Pan, add 2 tbsp Ghee, and add the grated Lauki. Cook on a high flame for 4-5 minutes. One tip is to cook Lauki until it gets translucent or until all the water released by Lauki evaporates. Stir continuously.
7. Once all the water has evaporated, add the thickened milk. Stir continuously while cooking on medium to high flame to let the mixture thicken.
8. Once it thickens and the Lauki absorbs the Milk, add 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix and stir continuously to let the mixture thicken.
9. As you can see that the mixture has thickened, at this stage, add 1/2 tsp Hari Elaichi powder for flavor. Mix and stir for 3-4 minutes on high flame.
10. Add the roasted dry fruits, mix and stir until the mixture is completely.
11. The Lauki Halwa has completely dried, has a rich granular texture like Mawa, and is ready to be served.
12. Garnish with chopped nuts and dry fruits. It is totally optional.
Enjoy the delicious Ghiya Halwa.
