Doodhi Halwa (bottle gourd) is a sweet Indian dessert made with bottle gourd or opo squash, milk, milk solids, ghee, sugar and flavored with cardamom and nuts. This is a well known variant of halwa made with a vegetable – here in this case with Bottle Gourd which is also called as Lauki or Ghiya in Hindi and Doodhi in Gujarati languages. So this sweet is known by the name ‘lauki ka halwa’ or ‘doodhi halwa’. You can easily make this halwa variant as a sweet dish on any day or during Hindu fasting days like Navratri fast or Ekadashi.
