Lauki Kheer: Sweet But Healthy Dessert
Lauki kheer is not a very common Indian dessert. When it comes to kheer recipes, we are more used to having the varieties that use rice. Now lauki kheer is prepared from grated bottle gourd (called lauki in Hindi) instead of the usual rice. Kheer recipes are very fattening because they are high calories. These Indian desserts contain both sugar/jaggery and rice or some other carbohydrates like sabudana.
Lauki kheer is a healthy dessert because it cuts out the carbohydrate content. Bottle gourd is not fattening like rice and has lots of vital nutrients. If you reduce the amount of sugar in this Indian dessert, it can easily be a kheer for diabetics.
