Heat ghee in deep pan, add bottlegourd and roast well for 10-12 minutes. Add milk with cardamom and cinnamon powder  and cook on medium flame for an hour. Do not let the whole milk get dry, it should have thick consistency. Once you start feeling its getting cooked, add sugar, almonds. Cook for another 5 minutes and off the flame.
