Diwali and mithais are synonymous – so we bring to you our top 5 picks of the season! If these won’t make your mouth water and get you in the Diwali mood then we don’t know what will!
Hara Moong Ka Halwa – Green moong, sautéed in ghee and cooked with sugar and dry fruits to make a rich and delicious halwa. The emerald green colour and rich taste makes it perfect for the Diwali festivities.
Just one simple twist and a good old kaju kalti get a diwali brand new makeover. Cashew and almond powder mixed with sugar and rose syrup - set and cut into rocket shapes and skewered to look like feisty rockets – which you can eat!
Traditionally this deep fried choux pastry is served with a chocolate dipping sauce, but we gave it a desi twist to make it fit Diwali festivities. How about a rich smooth pear flavoured rabdi to dunk the crunchy churros in? Sounds divine, doesn’t it?
Banana Elaichi Caramel Ice Cream
Ice cream can be a part of any celebration and Diwali is no different. This one has the dulche de leuche type of sweetness from the caramel and bananas with the green cardamom adding a lovely Indian mithai fragrance and flavour.
Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate Gajak
Three of our favourite things in one delicious dessert – nutty sesame seeds, dark chocolate and salty caramel. A thin salted caramel sheet studded with sesame seeds alternated with layers of dark chocolate in a parfait. Crunchy sweet and delicious.
