Making lauki ki kheer
- Then add fresh whole milk and stir.
- On a low to medium heat simmer the milk stirring at intervals, so that the milk does not scorch at the bottom of the pan.
- After 5 to 6 minutes, add a pinch of saffron strands.
- Continue to simmer milk till it comes to a gentle boil.
- Keep on cooking milk, till its reduced a bit. Stir often and scrape the milk solids from the sides and add them to the simmering milk. Overall cook the milk for 16 to 20 minutes, stirring often.
- Once the milk has reduced a bit, add sugar as per your taste.
- Stir the sugar with the kheer mixture.
- Then add cardamom powder and cashews.
- Simmer the kheer for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Lastly switch off the heat and add rose water.
- Then add 5 to 6 dried rose petals (crushed). Skip rose petals if you do not have.
- Now you can serve lauki ki kheer hot or warm or chilled. On cooling, the consistency of the lauki kheer will thicken.
Notes
- Kindly ensure that the lauki has a mild neutral taste. It should not taste bitter. Bitter-tasting lauki should be discarded and not used.
