About Dudhi halva

Dudhi Halva, also known as Lauki Halwa, is a luscious Indian dessert made from grated bottle gourd (dudhi or lauki), milk, sugar, ghee, and a touch of aromatic spices like cardamom. Popular in North Indian cuisine, it is often garnished with nuts such as almonds and pistachios for added crunch and flavor. Bottle gourd, the main ingredient, is low in calories and packed with dietary fiber, making it a nutritious base. However, Dudhi Halva is prepared with generous amounts of sugar and ghee, which make it calorie-dense and high in fat. While the dessert provides small amounts of vitamins and minerals from the gourd and nuts, consumption should be moderated due to its rich, sweet nature. This comforting dish is often enjoyed during festivals or special occasions, balancing indulgence with the wholesome goodness of its vegetable foundation.
