BOTTLE GOURD DESSERT (Lauki Ka Halwa)

BOTTLE GOURD DESSERT (Lauki Ka Halwa) by MARIA LOURDES V. LIPARDO-AYUB

This is so tasty Indian/Pakistani dessert... Lauki Ka Halwa. Lauki is a Hindi word for bottle gourd or upo in Tagalog. It was something strange for me at the start because I used to eat bottle gourd as a vegetable dish. It's so easy to make this sweet dish.
