This winter treat combines grated bottle gourd and walnuts into a cozy, flavorful halwa.

It delivers a perfect mix of gentle sweetness, crunchy nuts, and a luscious texture.

The recipe features lauki, walnuts, milk, sugar, ghee, and a hint of cardamom for flavor.

You can also add extra nuts and saffron to elevate the flavor and presentation.

Peel the bottle gourd, grate it, and squeeze out excess water thoroughly.

This ensures the halwa cooks uniformly and avoids a watery consistency.

Cook the grated lauki in ghee, then simmer it with milk until it thickens.

Add walnuts and sugar to infuse the halwa with richness and sweetness.

Serve this halwa warm for the most comforting taste on chilly winter days.

Enjoy it as a post-meal dessert or a cozy evening indulgence.
