Pistachio is the best thing you can add to your halwa and laddoos; it doesn't just have a strong nutty flavour and an earthy note but also has a mild floral essence which is similar to vanilla. It can elevate not just desserts but also festive drinks or savoury items. Here are some desi foods where you can add pistachios
