This not so usual dessert is also known as Benami Kheer. Benami in Hindi means no name or unknown. This dish is one the lost recipes of Indian cuisine. The history of this dish goes back to the Mughal era and said to be originated in the Royal kitchens.The taste of this kheer is amazing. The thickened milk, creaminess from the cooked garlic and hint of cardamom, rose water/ rose petals gives a delectable flavour. To add more richness almonds can be added and the garlic does not have any pungency and lightens the taste and texture of the kheer.

This is a modern version of the traditional Indian Jalebi Rabri combo but this includes sliced apples and a yeast based batter. So, make it for your loved ones and give them a treat at home.

Khaja is a sweet snack from states of Bihar, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh in India. In Hindi language, ‘Khaja’ means just eat it and this sweet treat is like that. Just gobble!! Khaja can be made with or without stuffing. Stuffing can be made with mawa (dried whole milk), nuts and dry fruits. This sweet dish can be prepared from fewer ingredients. The best part is these can be stores in airtight containers up to 2 weeks, but I am sure they will not last that long J.

I have a soft spot for panna cottas when it comes to making desserts as they are easy to make, can be made with different flavor profiles, mix and matched with other desserts. They are no fuss yet very appealing taste wise and look wise as well!
