Makai Ki Galvani is a gluten-free dessert that one can make in just about 20 minutes.
There’s something comforting (read therapeutic) about Indian desserts that even the fanciest global sweet treats can’t match. Be it the scrumptious rasgullas or creamy deliciousness of kulfi falooda, desi desserts never fail to impress us. Isn’t soan papdi and kaju katli our most favourite secret indulgence during Diwali? And a heart-warming bowl of kheer is perhaps the quintessential part of a celebration. Yet, there are a plethora of sweet treats in Indian cuisine that haven’t got their share of limelight.
The regional cuisines of India boast of some of the most unique dishes yet aren’t known to many of us. Rajasthani cuisine, for instance, is a potpourri of distinct flavours and treats that scream indulgence and all things delicious. The subtle blend of royal tradition and culture with its cuisine is hard to miss. The locals in Rajasthan like their dishes spicy and robust, and desserts sinful! Rajasthani desserts are usually ghee-laden which lends that extra flavour. We have this super delicious hidden gem from the Aravali ghatis of Rajasthan- Makai Ki Galvani.
