Come winters and our hunger pangs just seem to be on the rise. The need to munch on something is ever present, plus it keeps us warm and the winter chill away. We resort to quick snacking with dry fruits, or make our quick bites with Multigrain bread. Benefits include immediate satisfaction and calming of senses.
Indian desserts especially hit the sweet spot during winters. Ghee, milk and khoya add a beautiful richness to the sweets, every bite exploding with enhanced flavours. Festivities and dinner parties also see a rise in the winters. So if you are hosting people at home, have these incredible Indian Sweets on the table to tantalize the taste buds:
1.Gajar ka Halwa - This carrot based sweet dish is as synonymous with Indian winters as Lemonade is with Indian summers. Soft grated carrots mixed with the goodness of milk or khoya is perfection captured in every bite. Topped off with dry fruits, it is the most common of the Indian desserts prepared in every household during winter.
2.Gulab Jamun - The all season favourite becomes a bigger star during winters. Freshly made Gulab Jamun in warm sugar syrup can brighten up your afternoons. Traditionally made with All purpose Flour, Khoya, the soft sponge sweet dish can also be recreated with bread as the base.
3.Gajak - A popular street sweet made with white sesame seeds, Gajak blends in the crunch of toasted sesame with natural jaggery to create an addictive taste. A counterpart with peanuts is the ever popular chikki, a sweet you will see being sold by the nearest vendors in every corner you turn into.
4.Jalebi with Rabdi - Another Indian dessert that has found popularity as a celebratory sweet as well as a classic dessert, the Jalebi-Rabdi combo leaves a sinful sweet aftertaste in your mouth. Served piping hot, the sticky glaze of the sweet is lipsmacking! A variant, Imarthi, is also extremely popular during winters.
5.Shahi Tudka - It is a tantalizing Hyderabadi sweet with bread as base. Bread squares deep fried in ghee are soaked in a delicious grated paneer-condensed milk rabdi and are topped off with cardamom and soaked saffron. They can be served warm as well as chilled, but nothing like a warm sweet Indian dessert on a chilly winter afternoon.
