Lauki ki Barfi is made using grated Lauki, khoya, ghee and full cream milk. Lauki ki Barfi tastes yummier as grated Lauki, full cream milk and khoya blend along in a tempting combination.
Barfi is a sweet that is mostly eaten in every Indian household. Made from milk solids, sugar, rich Indian dry-fruits, I am yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like eating Barfi.
