‘Pudding’ evokes expectation & taste of a cake topped with whipped cream and some fruits thrown in. Even I imagined it to be the same when my mom told me that she is making it for me.

But I couldn’t be more wrong.

It so b* hot in Pune that I told V to install an AC asap. Yes I am the same one who always claimed that Pune rarely needs air-conditioners but this year I take back my sentiment. We need AC and everything cool around us.

In this weather cool food, cool drinks and lots of window breeze is keeping us sane.

It doesn’t resemble pudding in structure but every bit as heavenly. Since my mom calls it pudding, I will continue calling it too. :)

It is no wonder that I am falling back on recipes like chilled pudding to entertain as well as eat myself at home. I have found another sweet monster like me in Priya and we both want to diet but end up eating fried, sweet and all sorts of guilty food in name of potluck and kids ;)

And it has a special ingredient which I couldn’t believe. Can you guess? No? I know you won’t be able to either. It has bottle gourd in it.

Yes. You read right – bottle gourd. It is very difficult to decipher the taste and you can easily feed the gourd-haters some gourd on the sly. I would love being one-up here.

Ingredients

  • 300 gram canned pineapple drained & grated
  • 200 gram bottle gourd lauki, grated & boiled
  • 300 gram heavy cream
  • 200 gram castor sugar adjust according to taste
  • ½ cup almonds sliced or silvered + 1 tbsp for garnishing

Instructions

  • Squeeze out excess water from bottle gourd. Reserve the juice and use it to knead dough or add to soup. I hate wasting food, so I would use it.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients well. Reserve 1 tbsp almonds for garnishing. Taste and adjust sweetness if required. Since the pineapple is sweetened, I have kept low sugar. If you need more, it is quite to easy to add more.
  • Transfer to individual cups/ glasses or in the same dish only. Cover each glass with plastic wrap and chill.
  • Before serving garnish with some more almonds sliver, mint leaves, mango or any other fruit of the season. Serve cold.

Notes

Taste of pineapple should be more than that of bottle gourd. If you think bottle gourd is stronger tasting, then add more pineapple or reduce bottle gourd.
