In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of ghee and sauté the grated bottle gourd for 3-4 minutes until the moisture evaporates.

Add 1/2 cup milk powder and 1 liter of full-fat milk to the pan.

Stir in 1/2 cup sugar, adjusting to taste, and optionally add green food color.

Mix in the previously roasted semolina and coconut, and cook on low heat until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Once thickened, pour the mixture into a greased tray and spread evenly.

Top with chopped almonds and pistachios, pressing them lightly into the mixture.

Allow to cool and set before cutting into pieces.
