- Boil bottle gourd first in milk to bring the milky taste to halwa and get rid of raw flavor and smell.
- Then cook in pure ghee by adding sugar, khoya, and dry fruits, this step helps to enhance the taste of halwa and reduces the cooking time.e
- Avoid using bottle gourd that’s too sour or bitter, a slight tang is just fine.
- Which will reduce after frying in ghee
- Consuming bitter lauki is extremely dangerous, always wash, peel, and taste them before using...
