Who doesn't love desserts? The joy one feels while digging into a delectable slice of pudding cannot be described in words. As Indians, we have a weakness for desi mithai. And when you have such a large variety to choose from, it is not humanly possible to resist devouring a few. From warm halwas to deliciously mouth-watering kheer and soft melt-in-your-mouth barfis, Indian desserts are to die for. Diets aside, we can allow ourselves the occasional cheat day to indulge in a bowl of warm halwa or take an extra helping of kheer.
If you are looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings, we have a few quick and easy recipes you must try. These are Indian desserts which will be ready in 30 minutes or less.
7 Delectable Indian Desserts You Can Make In Under 30 Minutes:
1. Dates Barfi
It takes about 10 minutes to cook this Indian dessert. It's decadent, wholesome, and satiating. What's more? It doesn't require any extra added sugar because the sweetness is derived from the dates itself. This one doesn't need a special occasion; you can make it whenever you want something sweet but don't want your calorie count to go haywire.
Muskmelon or kharbooje ki kheer is a unique sweet dish. To make it, you require rice paste and thick melon pulp, which is then cooked together in a creamy milk mixture. Muskmelon is rich in Vitamin A and C, and doesn't have too many calories either, making this Indian dessert an ideal dish if you are on a low-calorie diet.
