Five Indian Desserts That Taste Special with Kesar

A few saffron strands can add colour and a gentle floral aroma to familiar sweets. If you are choosing what to make for a celebration, these Indian desserts with kesar offer something for different tastes and occasions.

Kesar phirni is smooth and best served chilled, while kesar peda is easy to shape into small pieces for sharing. Rasmalai brings soft chenna patties and saffron-flavoured milk together. For a dessert that does not need cooking, try shrikhand made with hung curd. If you want something warm and rich, choose badam halwa.

Before adding kesar to any of them, soak the strands in a little warm milk. This helps the colour and aroma spread through the dessert. Add sugar gradually so it does not overpower the saffron.
