Lauki ki Barfi Recipe – How to make Bottle Gourd Burfi

Lauki ki Barfi – Tempting and irresistible form of lauki aka ghiya. Very tasty tried and tested recipe of Lauki / dudhi ki Barfi.

As Navratri is here, I have started preparing for the same. Like always, this time also I am going to try some innovative fasting dishes. One of them is Lauki ki Barfi. Lauki or bottle gourd is not very much loved vegetable but I bet you can’t resist from having the second piece of lauki ki barfi.

Made with only two main ingredients, milk and lauki or ghiya or dudhi, tastes awesome. Yes making it tastes a bit longer time but it is worth the time spent. Same is the recipe of dudhi halwa, just skip the freezing part of the method. And you can enjoy hot or warm dudhi halwa.

Grated lauki is simmered in a pan full of milk, milk is cooked over time. As milk reduces, and it takes the form of halwa makes it easy to freeze in refrigerator.

Below is your recipe of dudhi barfi or lauki barfi. Enjoy it while fasting or anytime. I am sure your friends and family u will love this.
