Notes
- I used pressure cooker method for making lauki chia seeds kheer. It is quick and fast method and take less time in preparing kheer.You can also make it in a open sauce pan but In that case first cook the grated lauki and then add milk. As lauki will not cook nicely after adding milk in it.
- Use fresh and seedless lauki for this recipe.
- Grate lauki with the biggest side of the grater.
- I have added white sugar in it in a very little quantity because I want it to be mildly sweetened.. You can increase the sweetness according to your taste. Also white sugar can be replaced with jaggery powder, coconut sugar, palm sugar or you can just add date paste to sweeten it.
- Cook the kheer on low flame with occasional stirring.
