Sugar and spice and everything nice!

Indian cuisine is predominant with some spicy curries, yummy tandoori dishes, and deliciously flavourful rice recipes. Unlike so many other cuisines, our cuisine is an amalgamation of so many traditions, culinary influences, and cultures as the country are filled with such diverse people. A very strong foundation of flavours, spices, sweetness, and richness is involved in building Indian food. Just like the savoury recipes, sweets play an integral part in Indian cuisine, which is traditionally called "mithai". Anything and everything starts or ends with mithai in India. Any kind of ceremony or occasion will have sweets in it as they signify good omen, happiness, and prosperity. But, our cuisine has balanced the savoury and sweet equation pretty well because we have the best of both. Here are some popular sweet and savoury matches for you to try!

Chana Dal Halwa

Chana Dal Halwa is such a simple yet yummy dessert that can be made super quickly. This dessert can make your relatives and sudden guests so happy and satisfied with its aroma of ghee, perfect texture, and sweetness. 

Chana Dal Parantha 

Who doesn't love varieties of parantha with potato, paneer, green peas, and other stuffings? When you are bored of regular roti try this Chana Dal Parantha which will take your parantha's dream to another level which is simple and yummy too.

Poha Kheer 

Kheer is one of the quickest and yummy desserts we can make during any special occasion. This poha kheer which is also known as Aval payasam is quite popular in the southern part of India.
