Are you one of those dessert-lovers who just can't resist slurping at the mere mention of one? There's no denying that desserts make us go weak in the knees and when it is about an Indian dessert, there's no looking back. Indian desserts besides being a staple part of every meal make for a special part in our traditions and rituals as well. So much so they are even offered in our places of worship. Kada prasad in Gurudwara or ladoos in temples, Indian sweets make for a sacred meal too.
What makes Indian desserts even more special is their variety and availability. From Bengal's roshogulla to Maharashtra's modak, we've got a lot to relish. But there are a host of desserts that are not so common and aren't made in every household. Gujarati cuisine offers many desserts that aren't much popular in our country. Shrikhand, Basundi and Mohanthal are just some of the desserts that make a Gujarati thali worthwhile. We have got a Gujarati dessert recipe here that isn't much popular but is a great one to prepare for the upcoming festive season. With a lovely texture and delightful flavour, lapsi or Gujarati sheera is an easy and quick recipe to prepare at home.
