.........today iam posting B.G halwa (bottleguard).....usually i do carrot halwa in home..I know about lauki halwa..but never tried it...the day was came now to try the lauki halwa...
.. whenever i see the bottlegourd in the fridge i prefers to make sambar or curry with milk.
.this time i decided to make this delicious halwa.......and it came out yummmm....adding khoya in the halwa is depends on your taste..it gives very rich taste to the halwa..but i didnt added...this method making halwa takes a little longer time....
...but it tastes delicious..
