Sweet-toothed people are more active during the holiday season. It’s Christmas time, and no diet-conscious person can resist the temptation to indulge in amazing Christmas treats. The anticipation of a table full of tarts, cakes, cookies, puddings, and more is what makes family dinners special.
However, for those who are looking for something new, traditional sweet dishes and the same old Christmas celebrations can become dreary. Imagine if you spruced it up with exotic Indian desserts instead?
1) Rabadi over Custard:
There is nothing better than cakes at Christmas. Even though cake pops have become very popular in modern times instead of larger cakes. There are several reasons for this, including the fact that they are more convenient to consume and don’t need to be cut like traditional cakes. In addition, each cake can be customized with whipped cream or icing, making them more visually appealing.
If you prefer something different from cake pops, Gulab jamuns would be a good choice. Khoya is a popular Indian sweet that consists of egg whites, milk solids, flour, and baking soda mixed with cardamom powder. In the next step, the dough is kneaded with warm milk and made into balls, which are then fried in ghee or oil. In the end, the balls are served dipped in room-temperature sugar syrup, prepared by boiling sugar and water.
2) Ras Malai over Christmas Pudding:
A holiday celebration would not be complete without a delicious pudding. Sweet and sticky, this confection is a delight to eat and is available in an array of Flavors.
Rasmalai is made from spongy paneer (Indian cottage cheese) balls, which is soaked in thick reduced milk resembling clotted cream. Rasmalai is garnished with pistachios, almonds, saffron and other dry fruits.
3) Gulab Jamun instead of Cake Pops
A creamy custard is a great holiday treat that can be served on its own or stuffed into eclairs, cupcakes, and more. The egg-based preparation can be made at home or purchased from a store in the form of ready-to-make powders. This dessert is widely popular no matter what its form. It is still possible for a vegetarian who wishes to avoid eggs at all costs to have to forgo this delight.
Vegetarians can enjoy a custard-like feeling without gelatin or eggs by eating Indian Rabadi. This Bengali sweet is made solely of milk, and millions of hearts have been touched by it. It is made from milk, boiled on low heat until it turns a light yellow color, and flavored with saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, and nuts. When paired with Jalebi, it makes the perfect Christmas meal.
