Forgive me because I love the cuisine but Indian deserts went badly wrong. Too much sugar, not just a little too much, a lot too much. Add grease then deep fry, is there a hope that this will help? Nope, instead let's create some slippery textures for extra fun.. ..euww.
Here are the worst offenders in my view:
1, Gulab jamun a popular Indian sweet made from milk solids traditionally. khoya or mawa is the hindi term. In brief it is deep fried milky dough balls in rose flavoured ultra sweet syrup. There's more of the table in view than the dessert. This is for a good reason, table or sweet goop? Difficult choice.
2. Kheer, boil rice or pasta with milk and loads of sugar (add beetles..ok is either cardamom or dried fruit typically)
3. Jaleebi, fried batter and you guessed it..lashings of sugar syrup
4 Rasmalai, cheese dumplings steeped in cardamom-infused milk syrup.
(I'm sorry, was the cat poorly?)
So apologies india, I love your curries, roti, naan and pani puri.. but those deserts don’t compare to fruit crumble, lemon tart, tiramisu or chocolate cake. They shouldn't really be mentioned in the same post!
Another good story:
