Confectionary on The Dunes

There is no dearth of desserts in this desert state. The Rajasthani cuisine whole-heartedly offers a wide array of sweet dishes, that will indeed satiate your half-filled appetite. Try the badam ki barfi, an almond fudge made from sugar, milk, almonds and ghee. Travel to the beautiful pink city of Rajasthan, Jaipur, which greets its every visitor with its saporous sweet dish, ghewar. It is a paste of urad cereal which is crushed, deep fried and then dipped into a sugar syrup flavored with cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. Wow! It tastes so good when served hot, topped with a thick layer of unsweetened cream and garnished with rose petals. Drive over to Bikaner, and load your bags with the famous aloo bhujiya (fried shredded potato) and rosugulla. Believe it or not, but your trip to Rajasthan is not complete if you don't take these famous delicacies for your loved ones.
