Be it a festive season or any ordinary day, a little something sweet is what we all crave for everyday. In this world full of amazing sweets, our desi mithai holds a special place in our heart. There are many flavours, textures, colours and shapes, all of which amuses one and all. Food can bring anyone closer and is the only safest way to quickly win someone’s heart. On the days that we feel low, a bite of mithai lifts up the mood instantly and brings a smile on everyone's face. Similarly, any festival is incomplete without a mithai. So today, we brought to you a list of some simply milky mithais which are made with love.
Kheer :
First on the list of homely milky treats is a simply sweet and enticing kheer made at almost every household. It is a healthy mithai which everyone loves and can be prepared with minimum ingredients. Our favourite is the Poha Kheer made with red rice poha. It tastes best when served garnished with rose petals and that adds in the mithai-wali feeling.
Rasmalai :
Can anyone ever say no to a bowl full of spongy milky rasmalai? Definitely not! Chilled rasmalai floating in sweet milky syrup is the only thing your sweet side can ask for on a hot summer day. The technique to make it is a little unusual, but we still think you must give it a go.
Shrikhand :
Next on the list is a Maharashtrian speciality typically served along with hot puris - Shrikhand. Prepared with hung curd, sugar, cardamom, and saffron, this dish is as simple as it gets in terms of preparation. Shrikhand is one such dish that perfectly defines simplicity with taste. You can also tweak it by adding in mango and strawberry to make it fruity.
Kulfi :
While we are talking about the milky mithais, how can we miss out on the good ol’ kulfi? This traditional desi icecream is made with milk along with flavorings like cardamom, saffron, etc. It is something that you can enjoy just as it is or top it with some honey, nuts and serve with falooda turning the whole ice cream eating experience quite extravagant! Now that your ice cream cravings are at peak, go on and make a yummy kulfi with your choice of flavours today.
Basundi :
Lastly on the list is the beloved basundi, a thickened milk mithai, which is more popular in Gujarat. It is absolutely creamy and rich so everyone loves it a lot. Again, this lovely basundi can be tweaked a little bit with the addition of your loved flavours to enhance the dessert, or just enjoy as it is, either way it will bring you joy.
Try making these creamy beloved mithais made with milk and of course loads of love, and convert your ordinary day into extraordinary.
