Tips & Secrets

  • Using only the outer green part of the gourd (avoiding the pith) is mandatory for achieving the most vibrant color and texture.
  • Ensuring the gourd is sautéed in ghee before adding milk provides the absolute secret to achieving superior flavor lock.
  • The addition of a little saffron-infused milk provides the essential royal-aroma lift.
  • Always serve warm to ensure the signature melt-in-mouth experience is enjoyed.
