Forget about the sugary and syrupy Gulab Jamuns; the inviting aroma of Halwa, and the gratifying essence of Barfis, Well…this Diwali it’s time to plunge into the handed-down sweet courses that explicitly personify our heritage and lifestyle. Many of us always land into a quandary when it comes to ordering the last course of our meal. Wait a minute, if I am not wrong, are we thinking alike? The last course, of course, we the Gulab Jamun/Ice-cream obsessed living entities. Ain’t we? A handful of sweets in any restaurants fail to satisfy our taste buds and so the expression ‘Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye’ hath a great fall. But this new year, let’s come off tenterhooks and have a look at these amazing desserts/sweets you can try in the Tricity.

Chanar Payesh

It’s one of the mesmerizing traditional Bengali sweets. Chana means paneer and Payesh in Bengali means kheer. In short, it’s a kheer made with chena or paneer. Its enthralling aroma would surely make you forget any other regular kheer. Where is it served – Satva, Sector 26, Chandigarh
