Ingredients
  • ¼ spaghetti squash
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 tbsp brown sugar
  • ⅛th tsp - fresh ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp - ghee
  • 1 tbsp - your favorite nuts. I used cashew, almonds and pine nuts.
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350ยบ C. If squash is small, around 3-4", you can bake whole squash.
  2. If it is big, cut spaghetti into half. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Remove and cool.
  3. You will see spaghetti strands separated. Remove strands with fork carefully without mushing them.
  4. Heat milk in a pan. When it is about to boil, add ½ tbsp ghee and brown sugar. When sugar melts, turn off stove and add spaghetti squash strands.
  5. In another small pan, add remaining ½ tbsp ghee. Heat to medium.
  6. Fry nuts in ghee.
  7. Garnish kheer with nuts.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy.
