    • Lauki barfi recipe

    Some people think it is not possible to make a sweet out of vegetable.However,veggies like pumpkin and bottle gourd can make wonderful sweets.Pumpkin,sweet potato and bottle gourd are cooked to make wonderful sweets like halwa,kheer and barfi.These sweets need less sugar and are unique too.These are root vegetables and also allowed during fasting.So if you are bored of making curry,make a sweet and enjoy.

    We have given a twist on the original barfi by adding little coconut flour to it. You can also add desiccated coconut instead of coconut flour if you do not have the latter. Lauki ki barfi/ ghiya burfi tastes more refined and addition of homemade mawa makes it very soft and creamy.

    Instructions

    1.Grate the lauki / bottlegourd for the bottle gourd barfi

    2. In a pan, cook the grated bottle gourd with 2 tablespoon of ghee.
