U will Need : 1 small bottle-gourd/Lauki, half litre of milk, 5 tbspn sugar or more if u like, freshly c rushed/powdered cardamom Peel the bottle-gourd. wash it off properly. Grate it very finely. Boil half-a-litre of water. Add grated lauki to it. Boil for next 10-15 minutes on medium flame. Separate water from it. Wash once atleast with fresh water. Boil Milk in a thick bottomed vessel. Add boiled-grated lauki to it. Cook for next 15 minutes on sim. Keep stirring now n then. Add sugar followed by cardamom. put the flame off. Stir within an interval of 2-3 minutes for a while. After cooling it off;keep it in refrigerator. Serve ice-cold..n enjoy the delicious taste along with compliments. A word of caution : Do not forget to tell me about it… Tip of The Day : Pick a lauki with minimum or no seeds. P.S. : I was nt planning to post..so dd nt get a more better pic.
