If you are living in North India, you know that the monsoon is nowhere near the plains. The temperature continues to boil the surroundings. In this heat, if you are craving sugar, you should try out milk-based North Indian sweets.
Doodh peda is a melt-in-the-mouth sweet that is a must-try in this weather. Flavoured with cardamom and pistachios, this sweet will leave you wanting more.
Cham Cham is a popular Bengali sweet made from paneer and later cooked in sugar syrup. Many shop owners stuff it with khoya and garnish it with coconut.
Kalakand is made from paneer and milk. Its grainy texture and subtle sweet notes make it a must-have in summer. It often comes garnished with nuts.
Made with spongy cottage cheese and soaked in flavoured milk, rasmalai is often consumed cold and helps to experience relief from the heat.
Kheer is a popular sweet dish in North India. You can make it using short-grain rice, sevai, sabudana, or makhana. Garnish with dry fruits and enjoy.
Rabdi is prepared by thickening milk and elevating the taste by garnishing it with saffron and cardamom. It is served with malpua or even falooda in Northern states.
Basundi is similar to rabdi, and it often comes flavoured with nutmeg. Its garnishing includes pistachios and almonds, making it rich in taste.
