First of all, wash the bottle gourd thoroughly and peel it. After this grate it. Keep in mind that remove the seed part from the middle of the bottle gourd and grate only the outer part.

Step 2
After this, heat 1 teaspoon desi ghee in a heavy bottom pan. Add grated bottle gourd to it and fry on medium flame for 4-5 minutes so that its rawness and excess water dries up. Now add 2 cups of milk to it. Keep the flame medium and cook while stirring occasionally until the bottle gourd absorbs the milk completely.

When the milk dries, add sugar to it. As soon as sugar is added, the pudding will become a little thin again. Keep stirring it until the sugar water dries completely. After this, add remaining 2-3 spoons of desi ghee and fry the halwa well for 4-5 minutes.
