Ramadan 2018: Indulge In These Delectable Ramadan Desserts
Here are some of our favourite Ramadan desserts you must try.
1. Shahi Tukda
Shahi tukda, translates to 'a royal piece' or a 'royal bite', and we think there could not have been a name more befitting. Often called a close cousin of Arabic dessert Umm Ali, shahi tukda is made by frying small pieces of bread, dipped in condensed milk, and dry fruits and infused with a hint of cardamom. The Awadhi dessert is also famous across Hyderabad as double ka meetha.
2. Phirni
A scrumptious and fragrant milk and rice-based Indian dessert, phirni is both a Sehri and Iftar favourite. Prepared lavishly across Muslim households in India, during Ramadan and Eid festivities, phirni is made by thickening milk with rice flour and flavoured with cardamom, saffron and rose water. The rich and creamy dessert is topped with generous layers of chopped dry and fresh fruits.

3. Baklava
This Turkish classic is as indulgent as it gets. The crispy and crunchy dessert is made with layers of filo pastry laced with butter and a delectable layer of chopped pistachios. Baked until golden, the flaky pastries are then soaked in rose flavoured sugar syrup. There, there, we saw you slurping! Here's a delicious recipe of baklava you can try your hand at.
4. Sheer Khurma
Sheer khurma or sheer khorma, literally means "milk with dates" in Persian. A delicious Persian pudding made with vermicelli, milk, date and host of chunky nuts. The loaded dessert is prepared for Iftar spreads and Eid festivities across Afghanistan, Indian subcontinent and parts of Central Asia.
