Lauki Ki Kheer Recipe (Step by Step)

“Lauki ki Kheer” (लौकी की खीर), also known as Bottle Gourd Pudding, Bottle Gourd Pasayam, Doodhi Kheer is a healthy, easy to digest and very refreshing dessert made with bottle gourd. This kheer is mainly made in my house during auspicious Navratri days, when we keep fast and can’t consume the regular rice kheer. It is surprisingly very easy and quick to make. Who says Navratri food needs to be boring? My platter is always full of such tasty food even during Navratri. This kheer recipe is a testament of many such tasty Navratri recipes.

Kuttu Ka Dosa

Who says that vrat ka khana (Fasting food) is either boring or laden with Oil. “Kuttu ka dosa” or “Falahari Dosa” or “Vrat ka dosa” is a great option for those who want to avoid eating Kuttu in fried pooris (puffed indian bread) or pakoris.

These Buckwheat Crepes / Pancakes are instant and gluten-free. As the recipe doesn’t require any soaking and grinding, they require very less time and effort, and all this comes with no compromise on tastes. This recipe produces a crisp buckwheat dosa, and the filling is made of potatoes. It is a good source of protein, iron, zinc.
