RASGULLA
Loved by all, this traditional Bengali sweet Rasgulla has soft and spongy balls made of fresh paneer and dipped in sugar syrup. You just cannot resist have more than one!
If there has been one sweet dish that has been a true ‘game changer’ of the way sweets are perceived and eaten in India, it has to be the luscious rasgulla – or how famous British chef William Harold described it in a journal – “a bowl of sweet, syrupy, soft cheese balls.”
KAJU KATLI
A delectable blend of cashew nut and milk, topped by silver leaf, traditionally served at festivals like Diwali and other special occasions. A fuss-free, simple and easy barfi recipe with a handful of ingredients, you can prepare this at home and serve your guests post a full meal at dinner parties.
This one’s a childhood favorite with many! Barfi made with cashew nuts and milk, topped with silver varq. Usually exchanged as a sweet gift on special occasions.
GULAB JAMUN
This classic Indian dessert usually enjoyed during festive occasions, might seem impossible to make at home but can actually be made at home. Gulab meaning rose and Jamun meaning berry makes for Gulab Jamun as a berry-sized ball dunken in rose flavoured sugar syrup. It can be served hot with vanilla ice-cream or just a stand-alone chilled dish.
In India, you would find Gulab Jamun at every wedding, party, birthday and festivals. In short if you arrange any Indian party and plan to keep only one dessert, chances are it will be Gulab Jamun, as it is the people’s favourite!
KHEER
Kheer is most versatile as a dessert. It is the ultimate explosion of both sweet and spicy flavours in the mouth. The word “Kheer” simply brings a smile to your face. Especially in India, Kheer is acknowledged as the sweet and auspicious dish of god. Kheer is an expression of happiness in India- be it any festival, wedding, function, celebration, or even a happy moment- Kheer lies in the heart of Indians.
Kheer can be considered as the ultimate dish made of milk that combines religion, dietary and nutritional aspects in the life of people of India. It is definitely a blessing to the taste-buds.
GAJAR KA HALWA
One of the most popular Indian dessert, ‘Gajar ka Halwa’ is known to have originated in Punjab, which is purely a delight during the winter months. Prepare this for special occasions as well as the perfect dessert post regular dinner with the family for a happy aura in your home.
Enjoyed by all, Gajar (carrot) ka Halwa is a mouth-watering preparation that is invariably found in every Indian gathering. A small serving of this sweet dish will do no justice to your craving palette as it will keep asking for more, until you forget counting the calories!
SOAN PAPDI
