Dudhi-Bhopla Kheer

 

­

 

This is a delicious dessert that is quick to make. It also looks colorful and inviting. This kheer can be made with either pumpkin or bottle gourd. However, I have used both pumpkin and bottle gourd to make this kheer nutritious and tasty. It is a great substitute for the usual Shevaiya Kheer.

A great idea for parties! Once prepared, it can be stored overnight in the refrigerator and then served chilled.
