Puran Poli

Gudi Padwa and Puran Poli go hand-in-hand. To prepare this flavourful dish, stuff a flatbread with a mixture of chana dal, besan, and jaggery and cook in a generous amount of ghee. This perfect dessert for the occasion evokes memories of bread, drenching in ghee and relishing every decadent bite.

Shrikhand

Shrikhand is an Indian dessert that’s as simple as divine. Made from hung curd, elaichi (cardamom), and saffron, this creamy delicacy and its flavour dance on your tastebuds with each spoonful. Pair it with hot, crispy puris for an unforgettable experience.

Kothimbir Vadi

Indulge in Kothimbir Vadi, a savoury delight that’s crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and makes it a perfect dish for any occasion. Made from besan, coriander leaves, and spices, this snack is steamed, sliced into squares, and then fried to golden perfection.

Basundi

Basundi is a rich and creamy dessert-like Rabri. Crafted with milk, mawa, dry fruits, elaichi, and Kesar, it is left to simmer until it develops a delightful pinkish hue. While this dish may take some time and patience to prepare, the result is worth the effort.

Bhakarwadi

Bhakarwadi are deep-fried and crispy pinwheels or spirals. They have a sweet, spicy, and tangy taste. But before you give it a try, you must know that you can be addicted to this, especially during tea time.
