    This is so tasty Indian/Pakistani dessert... Lauki Ka Halwa. Lauki is a Hindi word for bottle gourd or upo in Tagalog. It was something strange for me at the start because I used to eat bottle gourd as a vegetable dish. It's so easy to make this sweet dish.

    Ingredients

    • 1/4 c. corn oil
    • 5 tbsp. butter
    • 1 kg. bottle gourd, peeled, grated, squeezed
    • 1 c. evaporated milk
    • 6 tbsp. powdered milk
    • 1 tsp. vanilla essence
    • 3/4 c. sugar
    • 1 tbsp. raisins
    • 1 tbsp. chopped cashew nuts/pistachios/almonds

    Directions

    1. Saute’ grated bottle gourd in hot oil for 5 minutes.
    2. Add milk and vanilla. Simmer until milk absorbed into the carrots. Stir occasionally.
    3. Add sugar, butter and raisins, continue stirring until liquid absorbed.
    4. Garnish with cashew nuts/pistachios/almonds.
    5. You may use 1 cup condensed milk in place of evaporated and powdered milk. Omit sugar.
