Sorakkai Payasam / Lauki Kheer

October 14, 2015 By Priya Shiva 10 Comments

Print Recipe

 

Its so much fun to cook around festival times. Everyone seems happy, excited and everything around us looks positive. Navratri has started and as always, I decided to make some offering for God everyday. Today it was Sorakkai payasam, a light milk pudding made with bottle gourd which is cooked in milk and sugar. It is very popular in India and usually prepared around festivals or special occasions. In North India, it is known as Lauki or Doodhi Kheer and in South India we call it as Sorakkai Payasam. You can also serve it as a dessert. It is easy to prepare and it can be either served warm or serve it cold. So, sharing the recipe and hope you all try and share the feedback with me.
