Kulfi is rich and creamy, and it comes in clay pots or on popsicle sticks. It's simple for you to make, typically done at home during parties, marriage ceremonys and festivals. You need to take the molds out of the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving. It is just to enable the kulfi to melt somewhat. We Indians like that dripping Kulfi and we believe that it adds to a layer. You can also add toppings like ground cardamom, saffron, or pistachios according to your preferences and flavored touch. Falooda (vermicelli noodles) is also sometimes served with kulfi. Place of origin: India during the Mughal period

Rasgulla

Rasgulla or Roshgulla (for all my fellow Bengalis out there) is a Bengali dish that is widely consumed throughout India.

Ideally within a week Rasgulla should be consumed after removing the packaging. Rasgulla is often mixed with sugar syrup to give it that extra fluffiness. You can also use rose water to give it a distinct flavor and richness. Place of origin: Orissa, West Bengal

Ice Halwa

A sweet delicacy famous across India, Ice Halwa definitely tops our list. The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" could not be more applicable to ice halwa, as it is not composed of ice. While the thought of a chilly halwa dish may catch your attention, ice halwa is rather a delectable variation on the classic dish, and its colour and preparation are what give it its name. Because it is powdered with icing sugar, ice halwa is ivory in colour. Because the combination is rested for up to four hours before serving, it has a thick, creamy and satisfying texture.

Rasgulla

It's difficult to say whether the syrup-soaked balls or the rich, sweet syrup itself are the most wonderful part of this dish! Made all over the Indian Subcontinent, but love the most by Bengalis, these little balls are cooked in water until light and spongy, then soaked in sugar syrup. Because the balls are chilled for a couple of hours before serving, you may make this ahead of time and cherish it.
