Delicious And Quick Sweet Recipes To Make At Home 

1. Gulab Jamun 

Gulab Jamun is a classic Indian dessert that is made with milk, flour and ghee. It is a popular dessert to serve during festivals and other special occasions. Gulab jamuns are easy to make, and they can be made ahead of time and could be stored in a fridge for up to a week. Here is how to make a gulab jamun at home. 

• Take a bowl and mix flour, powdered milk and baking powder together. To this, add thickened cream gradually until the dough is in the right consistency. You can also use ready-made gulab jamun mix to prepare the dough.
• Roll the dough into small balls and ensure that these do not have any cracks on the surface.
• Heat a pan of oil and keep it in a medium flame. Fry the gulab jamun balls in the oil until it turns brown in colour. 
• Meanwhile, in a large pan, boil water and add sugar to it. Wait until the sugar completely dissolves. 
• Now, add cardamom powder and rose water to it. Mix the solution thoroughly and leave it aside for it to reach the right thickness.
• To this sugar solution, add fried Jamun. Leave it undisturbed for the Jamun to soak well in the solution, and serve it after 2-3 hours.

3. Kaju Katli

Kaju katli is the soul of Indian desserts. It is that one sweet that kids and adults all likely enjoy. The greatness of cashews and the richness of ghee defines the sweet. Although kaju katlis are tastiest when eaten fresh, they can be kept for up to a week in an airtight container. Here is how to make delicious Kaju katlis that melt in your mouth.

• Take a cup of cashews and powder it using a blender. Make sure not to blend it for too long, as the oil in the cashews will be released, making the powder soggy.
• Take a pan and add water and sugar to it. Let it boil until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the cashew powder gently to the sugar solution and mix it thoroughly. Make sure to stir continuously until it reaches the desired thickness of the mixture.
• Take a butter paper or greased sheet and pour the mixture to allow it to cool.
• Now, knead the dough to avoid any cracks and roll it into a thin sheet.
• Cut them into the desired shape.
