Doodhi kheer or kaddu ki kheer is made with grated lauki/sorakkai, milk, and brown sugar as the main ingredient. You can also use white sugar but we love the flavor of brown sugar and on the healthier note, we have skipped using white sugar almost 90 %.
Brown sugar in payasam is just so mild and does not dominate or give you a “too much sugary” feel. This recipe is slightly less in sugar. You can add more if you wish to.
