A creamy kheer of milk and bottle gourd, which has a very succulent mouth-feel due to the texture of grated bottle gourd. Sautéed bottle gourd has such a wonderful flavour, it is hard to believe that it is actually a vegetable in the kheer. The addition of milk powder to this recipe helps achieve the richness of condensed milk in a matter of minutes, while cooking in the microwave adds to the convenience.
