Peel and grate the bottle gourd. Squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add ghee.
Add the grated bottle gourd to the pan and sauté for 5-6 minutes until it softens.
Pour almond milk into the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add heavy cream to the pan and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Stir in erythritol while ensuring it dissolves completely.
Add the cardamom powder and saffron strands. Mix well to incorporate the spices.
Chop the pistachios and almonds, and add them to the kheer, reserving a few for garnish.
Mix in the vanilla extract and cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.
Once done, remove the pan from heat and let the kheer cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with reserved nuts.
