#dussehra - This Two in One Delight is my simple innovative dessert that comprises of two different Indian desserts compiled into one. Hence the name. Made use of leftover Gajar Ka Halwa (Carrot Pudding) and Sooji Ki Kheer (Semolina Pudding) to bring out this easy fusion type festive party special or an after-meal dessert. So made laddu (dumplings) made out of Gajar Halwa and served with Sooji Kheer, topped with chopped almonds and sugar sprinklers. Bon Appetit!
