Here are our favourite Christmas desserts you can make:
Gujiya with Coconut Filling
Gujiyas (also known as karanji or nuereos) are a popular festival sweet in India. They vary only slightly from region to region. The filling is created with sweetened khoya (milk thickened almost to a solid state) and nuts in some states, such as Uttar Pradesh, and shredded coconut, nuts, and jaggery in others, such as Goa. The coconut filling is used in this variation.
The South Indian Pantry
Southern India is a huge peninsular part of the Indian subcontinent. The Bay of Bengal runs along its eastern coast, the Laccadive Sea runs along its extreme southern tip, and the Arabian Sea runs along its western shore. All are part of the greater Indian Ocean, which encompasses Africa, Australia, and Asia. The Malabar Coast is a popular nickname for the coastline.
Mounds Cake With Coconut Filling
This Mounds cake, inspired by the candy bar, blends chocolate and coconut into a decadent layer cake. Because the recipe uses a chocolate cake mix, you can concentrate on making the coconut filling and thin chocolate icing. The Christmas delight can be split into four layers for a more dramatic appearance, or three 8-inch cake pans can be used to form a three-layer cake.
Shakkarpara
In the north of India, this delicious festive delicacy is known as shakkarpara or shakkarpare, whereas in the west, it is known as shankarpali. However, it’s not just the names that differ; the cooking processes also differ slightly. However, well-made shakkarpara is crisp and crunchy, but not hard or too sugary, regardless of how it is baked.
