23 Incredibly Delicious Indian Desserts
Kheer or Payasam: An Indian Rice Dessert
What is it: A sweet pudding, prepared instantly and effortlessly. Its ingredients include rice and milk, with toppings of cashew, raisins, pistachio, almond, saffron, and cardamom. While you can make it just by adding sugar, some regions use jaggery for preparing kheer. Known by different names like payesh, phirni and payasa, this dish is popular in birthdays and festivals. Many temples also serve it as an offering to deities. In South India, moong dal or moong bean (in place of rice) alongside coconut milk as well as jaggery results in the preparation of pappu payasam. This delicacy often made with “Nolen Gur” (date palm jaggery) in West Bengal during winters, results in “notun gurer payesh.”
What does it taste like: Sweet, soft, and chewy, giving you perfect delight after a sumptuous meal. The addition of jaggery gives it a distinct aroma, making it even more delicious to taste.
