If you love to eat sweets, especially during this festive season, and don’t want to feel guilty about it, try out this GeneClinicX certified Dudhi Halwa (Bottle Gourd Halwa) recipe. It’s an excellent dessert option because it has a perfect balance of fiber from dudhi (bottle gourd), good fats from the nuts, milk, ghee, and coconut, and the sweetness of jaggery and raisins.
