Ingredients Serving: 10

Bottlegourd, grated, 3 cups
Milk 500 ml
Sugar 3 tbsp
Cardamom, crushed, 4
Ghee 3 tbsp
Almonds, cashews, chopped 25g
Frozen spring roll sheets 10-12
Paste of 1 tbsp Maida + 1 tbsp water
Oil/ghee to fry
For sugar syrup (optional):
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Cardamom crushed 2
Dried rose petals
Lemon zest 1 tsp

Instructions

Grate the bottlegourd and dry it with a kitchen towel to remove maximum water
Take it in thick bottom pan with milk (preboiled or pasteurized) immediately or it will start to turn black
Bring this mixture to boil on high heat and then turn flame to low
Keep cooking with regular stirring till most of the milk evaporates
Add chopped nuts and continue to cook till the mixture is almost dry and all the milk has evaporated
After this, add the ghee and sugar and stir well (sugar will melt and mixture will become mushy)
We need a very dry mixture as it is used in filling. Turn off heat and allow to cool in fridge for 3-4 hours as this will solidify it.
In the meanwhile prepare chashni or sugar syrup using 1/2 cup sugar and water each Let it be slightly thin. Add 1 tsp lemon zest, cardamom and dried rose petals after it cools.
Make paste with 1 tbsp maida and water
Start preparation by heating oil or ghee for frying before you want to serve
Take the square sheets. Put it in a diamond shape from you. Place filling at the bottom and start rolling. On reaching middle area fold both horizontal corners of the diamond inwards like an envelope. Continue to roll and stick the end with the help of maida paste.
Fry them till golden brown on both sides (this takes about a minute only)
Dab with paper napkin to remove excess fat,
Serve hot with drizzled sugar syrup and more chopped nuts.
