Karaily key kheer ?

Mirch · Mar 11th, 2008, 12:57 PM

I hate this vegetable but I have heard that this is good for your health. I cannot eat it in any other form like qeema karaila, stuffed karaila etc.
So the only option is if I can have it in the form of a dessert like kheer or halwa.
So please share your all your dessert recipe for karaily key kheer ya karailay ka halwa.

For those of you who are wondering what is it here is a picture for show and tell:

Mirch bhai, yes vegetables are good for you, but remember the form you consume them in also determine the potency of their nutritional content. For example if you grate the karela and cook it to death in sugar, I don't know how much benefit you're going to get. So, whether you like it or not, try eating in say...channay ki daal with karaley. I can give you the recipe.
