Kaddu Ki Kheer

During fasting, we try to make so many things as we get bored of eating the same things daily. when the turn comes for sweet, kheer and halwa comes first in mind.

Since childhood i was eating rice kheer, sevai kheer, Makhana Kheer, Lauki Kheer, suji kheer but from my MIL's kitchen, I brought this pumpkin kheer, delicious and healthy too and we can eat it during fasting as well. 

It is easy to make and doesn't take much time. Please find the recipe below:
