Can't stay away from the topic of desserts it seems.
I have a few very dear to my heart Indian desserts.

Here they are:

Kalakand

Burfi

Not sure what the difference between kalakand and burfi is. I just know that they taste slightly different.

Carrot halwa

Mango lassi

Kheer

Gulab jamun

Mango shrikhand

Kheer is the only one on my list that I've actually made myself. I love it too. What other desserts do you know, Cancer/Scorpio? Can you make some of them? Do you know the difference between burfi and kalakand?

You know I actually have no idea what kalakand is, never tried it and never heard of it...shameful considering I'm Indian. I think though, looking at pics of kalakand, it falls under the same category as burfi (same look and same-ish ingredients). I don't really know, where I come from everything is burfi lol.

Oh I know many others! Gajrela (gajar ka halwa), soan papdi, firni, seviyan, rasgulla, kulfi falooda...so many I can't even think of all of them right now.

Gajrela (gajar ka halwa):

Made of gajar (carrots) and usually has almonds mixed in, it is delicious!

Soan papdi:

Made of layers of very thin...stuff, I don't know what it is But it falls apart in your hands if you squeeze it and melts in your mouth, also one of my favorites.

Firni:

Like smooth kheer.

Seviyan:

Vermicilli in a milky base, usually with raisins and almonds in there and served hot.

Rasgulla:

Like a cold, white, milky/watery gulab jamun.

Kulfi falooda:

Kulfi is just ice cream and falooda is the pink noodley stuff on it.
