The fervour of Karwa Chauth is right around the corner. On this day, many married Indian women fast without food or water from dawn to moonrise to honour their love and devotion for their husband’s long, healthy life. But the moment after the fast is opened, perhaps the most memorable when the ladies feast on their hearts' desire with their husbands#. While one can make multiple indulgent dishes as one wants for dinner, a heavy meal on a special occasion like this would undoubtedly require a sweet finale. So here is a Lachedar Rabdi by Homechef Sapna Varshney in collaboration with Godrej Jersey that you can prepare on Karwa Chauth this year to enjoy post-dinner.
