Desserts fulfil everyone’s desires in delightful ways. Desserts and sweets are always served at the end of a meal, while few cultures consider it serving at the beginning, and some cultures in the world do not even have the concept of the dessert at all.
It's always nice to prepare your desserts at home rather than buying them from the market because you can customise them according to your preferences.

There might be many shortcuts but sometimes, the traditional method of making desserts yields the richest taste. The authentic recipe of Gajar ka Halwa proves this. When you eat Gajar Ka Halwa, it's rich and enticing, sugary taste just melts in your mouth.
