ice cream. Let’s dive into the list of yummy sweets which will take you on a
sweet joyride. If you aren’t drooling already, then these would do the job:
Suttar
Pheni: If you say it
too many times, it’s going to start turning into a joke. Putting aside the
funny name, Suttar Pheni is a kind of “Pheni” which are thin noodles. This
dessert is made after hours and hours of effort in ‘ghee’ to add a lovely
aroma. What adds to the delectable flavor is the fact that they’re drowning in
sweet milk topped with a variety of almonds, cashews and other nuts.
Malpua:
This one is particularly
famous. Being the Indian counterpart of pancakes, this delicious dessert is
made my frying dough and then letting it sit in sugar syrup before being topped
with a generous serving of “Rabri” which is a thicker form of condensed
milk.This dessert will definitely melt in your mouth and take you right to
dessert heaven!
Chandrakala:
If you’re not a fan of
sweets, stop reading right now because this one is the sweetest of them all.
This one is similar to another Indian dessert, which goes by the name of
Gujjia. It got its name from the crescent shape it has. This one is made up of
a covering of fried dough under which are layers of khoya and nuts. Khoya is
simply milk, which has solidified after being cooked for a long time. This
dessert is definitely the perfect treat.
Chhena
Murqi: Chhena refers
to cottage cheese. Chhena Murqi are actually made by frying the cottage cheese
dough in a generous amount of ghee and then letting it soak in sugar syrup.
Cardomom powder is added to the syrup to give it that hint of sweetness and add
to the aroma. This dessert is the quintessential treat that must not be missed.
