DOODHI BHOPLYACHI KHEER | LAUKI KHEER | दुधीभोपळ्याची खीर

Doodhi Bhoplyachi Kheer or Lauki Ki Kheer is a sweet pudding made out of bottle gourd vegetable.Its very simple to make this kheer for the beginners also.

Only the thing to be kept in mind is that the doodhi/lauki should be tender and not be bitter in taste.Here I have used rice powder in the kheer to give a nice texture to the kheer.If you are preparing it for fast then use the samo rice / bhagar instead our regular rice.And the preparation method remains the same.

I have learnt this method of preparing the kheer from my mother-in-law…and mind once you prepare,it tastes fab…

We can also prepare Doodhi Thalipeeth | Lauki Thalipeeth from doodhi/lauki/bottle gourd.

So lets start with the recipe…
