Dessert and Sweet Recipes

As a people, Indians are known for their love of sweets. This growing list of easy Indian dessert recipes is a mix of more traditional dishes as well as international favorites influenced by Indian spices.

Examples of quick Indian-style sweets are a make-ahead mango fruit custard (amarkhand) and the popular Goan sawdust pudding (serradura).  Indian rice pudding (Kerala payasam) is another gloriously creamy must-make dessert.

Indian spices add a memorable twist to carrot cupcakes and a sweet & creamy chai pudding, which are just a few examples of this category.
