Soft, spongy balls made from khoya (reduced milk) and soaked in sugar syrup. They are rich, indulgent and perfect for a warm treat on a cool monsoon day.

Malpua

These rich flavourful fried pancakes are soaked in sugar syrup and often garnished with nuts. The combination of crispy edges and soft, sweet interiors makes them a monsoon delight.

Kheer

A traditional rice pudding made with milk, sugar and cardamom, topped with nuts and sometimes saffron. Its creamy texture and comforting sweetness make it an ideal dessert for the monsoon season.
