We are two sisters. I don’t have a brother but I do have cousin brothers and they are our real brothers. I haven’t celebrated Raksha Bandhan with my brothers since I came to the USA. But I do not miss to call my brothers and if possible do a video chat on every Raksha Bandhan. Any Indian festival is incomplete without some yummy food. Sweets and dessert is an automatic extension of festivals. Both my brothers are opposite in their taste buds. One likes sweet so the other one likes all snack items.

I have a collection of recipes I think my brothers might like. Let’s start now. You might find an easy homemade dessert recipe for this raksha bandhan in this list.

• Puran Poli: Puran Poli is a Maharashtra delicacy. This is usually made during Holi but my brother is always ready to have Puran Poli. If you want to know how to make this yummy delicacy then here is the recipe.

 

• Besan Ladoo : Besan Ladoo is everybody’s favorite. I first learnt to make besan ladoo when my daughter showed her interest in it. Here is the recipe.

 

• Kalakand: Kalakand is a popular Indian sweet made out of solidified, sweetened milk and cottage cheese. It is a rich sweet made with Concentrated milk called Khoya and fresh paneer called Chhena. My version of Kalakand is with paneer. Here is the recipe.

 

• Kaju Katli : This is a very simple recipe for Kaju Katli. One of my very good friends taught me this recipe

 

• Milk Cake: I am sure many of you have tried Milk Cake that is available in market. But it is very easy to make it at home.

You can find above two recipes here

• Aate ke Ladoo: Aate ke ladoo are very quick to make. You just have to be fast in rolling them as ghee (carified butter) tend to get absorbed very quickly in aata. Here is the recipe.

 

• Pineapple Pudding: I am not a pudding lover. But this pineapple pudding was so yummy when I tasted it first time at my friend’s place and it got added to my bucket list. Try this easy-peasy puddingdessert.

 

• Coconut Paan Ladoo: I tried making these ladoo last Diwali and they were a big hit among my family and friends. Check out this recipe here.

 

• Coconut-Paneer Hearts: This is another quick coconut based dessert. You can give them your desired shape. Here is the recipe.

 

• Cheesecake: This cheesecakeis a no-bake version. Not heavy on your tummy, this can be a perfect dessert after a scrumptious festive meal.

This was my collection. Which one was your favorite. What sweet do you make on Raksha Bandhan?
