Rajasthani cooking loves ghee, jaggery and milk, and the sweets show it. Here are the ones worth trying.
Classics
- Ghevar: a honeycomb-like disc fried in ghee and soaked in syrup, popular in the monsoon and festivals.
- Malpua with rabdi: soft pancakes with thickened sweet milk.
- Churma ladoo: sweet crumbled baati rolled into balls.
Warm and winter treats
Moong dal halwa is rich and warming and often appears in winter. Gajar halwa and gond ladoo also show up in the cold months.
City specialities
