It’s an easy to make recipe that tastes like Heaven. During summer time, there are many varieties of great tasting mangoes available and we love to enjoy the fruit as well as different recipes from Mango.

With Holi coming around, now is a great time to make sweets! One of my favorite desserts is mawa gujiya. Gujiya is a delicious Indian sweet with a crispy outer crust, stuffed with a sweet filling. It’s made with flour, sugar, ghee, nuts, and most importantly mawa. It can also have stuffed sooji but the mawa taste is better to me. It takes a little patience, but it’s definitely worth it!
Bhapa Doi, or sometimes called Mishti Doi, is a very elegant and tasty Bengali dessert. Made with 2 main ingredients, curd and condensed milk with cardamom and saffron (or other ingredients) used for flavor. It is one of the healthier and easy to make desserts with limited sugar and no oil or butter. Steaming the mixture gives it a very unique texture and taste. You can serve it warm or chilled though I prefer to eat it chilled.
Now you can have a dessert without feeling guilty-conscious.
