This simple vegetable is full of minerals and water. Bottle gourd helps fight many small problems keeping you healthy. Listed below are a few health benefits of bottle gourd juice. Bottle gourd juice is widely used for the weight loss. It helps reduce the inflammations in the liver and kidneys. Helps in easing the problem related to constipation. The water and fiber in the bottle gourd make the digestive system free and active. Sesame oil when mixed with bottle gourd juice helps to cure problems of insomnia. Bottle Gourd is one of the nutrition rich veggie and we should try and use that as often as possible in our day to day diet. We can make many different dishes using Bottle Gourd. 
Doodhi Halwa (Bottle gourd Halwa) is one of the scrumptious Indian Dessert made using Bottle Gourd and condensed milk. Like Carrot or beetroot halwa, this is also easy to make and very tasty. Here, I have given a simple method to make Lauki halwa. I have used sweetened condensed milk which eases our procedure. This halwa would be a best treat for our family and guests! Lets see how to make this yummy and healthy Doodhi Halwa / Lauki Halwa.

  2. gourd would become soft and tender. Then add milk to the pan and allow the bottle gourd to cook completely. Add the green food color to the pan and mix well. Food color is just optional.

4.Add ghee at regular intervals till the whole mixture rolls like a ball without sticking to the sides of the pan. Finally add cardamom powder and roasted nuts and mix well.
