Ingredients Serving: 4

Milk 1/ 2 liter ( 1/2 cup extra just in case)
Lauki grated 1 cup
Sabudana 3 tablespoon soaked
Basmati rice little less than 1/4 cup ( washed, pat dried and grounded dry)
Sugar 1/4 cup
Elachi powder 1/2 teaspoon
Pure ghee 2 tablespoon
Chopped nuts 2 tablespoon
Gold/ silver varak for decoration
Mawa 1/4 cup (optional)

Instructions

Grate the lauki, boil the milk and soak the sabudana for 1 hour.
Take a pan, add ghee and fry the chopped mixed nuts.
Remove the nuts from the pan, slightly fry them for the crunchiness.
In the same pan add grated lauki and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, till lauki is little tender.
Add half of the milk and sugar and let it cook.
Take another pan, add the other half of the remaining milk and add the grounded rice, sabudana, sugar and elaichi powder and cook it till the rice and sabudana cook.
If you feel the kheer is getting too thick add the extra milk and adjust the consistency according to your preference, usually semi solid gives better taste.
Almost kheer consistency.
Now mix both the milk ingridents and let it simmer till thick.
Switch off the flame when the mixture is thick and creamy.
Notes.
I used full fat milk so didnt use mawa or cream
Use sugar according to your taste, little less wont really change the flavour of the dish.
Serve cold garnished with fried nuts and gold or silver warak.
