Kheer for puja, gajar ka halwa in winter, chikki for Sankranti. These are the Indian sweets I make at home for festivals and everyday meetha cravings.
Each recipe comes with a video and the small tips that make a big difference, like when to stop cooking the jaggery so your chikki stays soft.
Start with these three:
- Creamy Rice Kheer: rice slow-cooked in milk with cardamom, made the traditional way for puja and festivals.
- Gajar ka Halwa with Khoya: winter red carrots cooked in ghee and milk, finished with khoya.
- Til Gud Chikki (Gajak Style): a soft, crumbly chikki made with ground sesame and jaggery.
