Baisakhi Festival is a special festival of India, especially in Punjab. It is known for happiness and celebrations full of traditional dance, music, and, of course, delicious food. This festival represents the harvest season and the beginning of a new year. Sweets hold a special place during Baisakhi celebrations to make the festival even more special.

Here are the traditional sweet dishes you can try this Baisakhi festival:

1. Milk Cake

Milk Cake is a delicious Indian sweet made from milk, sugar, and cardamom. It has a unique taste and texture. To get the perfect consistency, milk cake requires careful preparation and slow cooking.

This dish requires a well-balanced sweetness, and you can enhance its taste by adding the aroma of cardamom. This sweet dish is easily available in sweet shops, but homemade milk cake sweets have a special taste which is completely different from store-bought ones.

2. Kheer

Kheer is an aromatic and creamy rice pudding made from rice, milk, and sugar. You can flavour it with saffron, cardamom, and nuts. This versatile sweet is a favourite of everyone. Some people prefer to include condensed milk to enhance its richness, whereas for a more traditional taste, others use jaggery rather than sugar.

You can make it using different grains like millets or vermicelli (Seviyan Kheer). There are various variations of kheer recipes available. Whether you like a modern or a classic kheer recipe, this dessert can definitely add a special touch to your Baisakhi celebration.

3. Besan Ke Laddu

Besan Ke Laddu is a traditional Indian sweet that is commonly consumed during Indian festivals like Baisakhi, Holi, and Diwali. These golden and round sweets are made from roasted gram flour (besan), sugar, and ghee, which give them a rich and nutty flavor.

Its long shelf life is the only reason which makes Besan Laddu is so popular. You can easily store it for weeks without losing its texture or taste, which makes it a perfect festive sweet. Many families pass down their besan ke laddu recipes from generation to generation.

4. Suji Ka Halwa

Suji Ka Halwa is an easy and most comforting sweet prepared during Baisakhi. It is made with semolina (suji), ghee, sugar, and milk or water, which makes it a simple yet tasty dish. You can further enhance the taste and aroma by adding dry fruits, cardamom, and saffron.

The soft and warm consistency of this dessert makes it a soothing treat that is liked by people of all ages. Many online cooking classes and cooking institutes teach you to make this simple and delicious recipe.

5. Phirni

Phirni is quite similar to kheer. This rich and creamy rice pudding has a unique texture and flavour. It is made using milk, ground rice, sugar, and sweet-smelling spices like saffron and cardamom. The slow-cooked process gives Phirni a smooth and thick consistency.

You can garnish this dessert with nuts and rose petals, which make it look beautiful as well as tasty. If you love making different traditional sweets, then Phirni is a must-try dish. In many modern cooking classes you can learn different styles to make Phirni. These styles include innovative flavours like rose, mango, and chocolate Phirni.
