Step by step recipe of Lauki Kheer|Bottle gourd pudding

When you have had a lot of cheesy creamy desserts and you want something cooling, healthy and yummy. It’s time to make dhodhyaro, bottle gourd pudding. It’s very simple and the texture and method is very similar to cooking Gajrela (carrot pudding).

‘Dhudi’ means Bottle gourd in Gujarati and hence the name dhudiyaroo. It’s also called ‘dhudi no pewano’ meaning bottle gourd syrup. Lauki also mean bottle gourd in Urdu and so the name Lauki Kheer. While kaddu ki kheer is hindi.

My mom often made it in summers as bottle gourd has cooling effect. She would keep it very simple with no milk powder or cream so I have kept them optional. But if I make it for guests or for kids, I make it rich and serve it with Kulfi. It’s a great way to add vegetable in kids food, although I had to tell my kid that the shredded thing is noodles. That’s part of being mommy, sometimes with guilt. Serving with kulfi in ice cream cups really helps tempting children. What I did was, I made a whole batch and divided in two parts and added only half the amount of cream in one part that was for kids. Yeah, I often do these tricks to help myself fit in old clothes.

Other dessert recipes are Shahi tukray, Kheer puri
