In Goa, bottle gourd is known as “kokondudhi”, also known as lauki in Hindi. This lauki kheer is normally cooked with sago or sabudana traditionally. But we cooked it without sabudana this time.  You can serve this Indian bottle gourd milk pudding either hot or chilled. It tastes good in any way.

This Goan Style Bottle Gourd Kheer can be made for any religious occasion like festivals or when you have “poojas” at home.

Consumption of bottle gourd aids in weight loss as it is rich in fibre. It has no fat and has very less calories. It is also loaded with vitamins which is good for health. Bottle gourd is loaded with antioxidants and is good for maintaining overall health.
