Desserts
Indians are known for their sweet tooth and unlike western cooking patterns Indian desserts are made with lots of traditionally used ingredients like ground coconut, coconut milk, hand ground flour etc. Some of the sweet dishes are also prepared in age old styles to preserve the taste and keep it intact. The notable celebrities in this category consist of coconut barfi (grated coconut), gajar ka halwa (carrot in sweet pudding), gulab jamun (dried milk dumplings soaked in sugar syrup), mango rabri, rasgulla and many more! The Indian desserts enjoy a hearty welcome right from the time they are introduced in your platter to when they are over.
Low Calorie
Some of these foods like masala noodles, garlic and tomato soup, beans salad, ginger ale, upma, curd rice, aloo poha and baked eggplant are uniquely prepared with good seasoning. Mallika Bansal teaches you how to dress up your low cal foods to obtain the perfect taste. You need a non stick pan to cook them.
Drinks

Here’s what you can soak in: mango panna, lassi, nimbu paani (lemon juice), pistachio shake, gulab sherbet, kesar badam shake, jeera lassi, cardamom shake, chandan sherbet, ginger ale, thandaai, spiced tea, ginger fruit punch and more.
