Wholesome Dishes for the Winter Chill

As the winter chill sets in, it’s time to enjoy some traditional dishes that are perfect for the season. From rich desserts to wholesome snacks, these recipes are packed with flavours that not only satisfy your taste buds but also provide comfort and warmth. Let’s take a look at five winter favourites that you can indulge in this season: –

Gajar Ka Halwa

This classic North Indian dessert is a must-have during winters. Made with grated carrots, milk, sugar, and a generous amount of ghee, Gajar ka Halwa is slow-cooked to perfection. Garnished with nuts and raisins, it’s a delightful way to end any meal on a sweet note.

Pitha

A popular delicacy from Eastern India, especially in Assam and Odisha, Pitha is a unique rice-flour dish. These can be sweet, stuffed with jaggery and coconut, or savoury, filled with spiced lentils. Best enjoyed with a cup of tea, Pitha is a wholesome winter treat.

Sarson Ka Saag and Makki Ki Roti

This Punjabi staple is the ultimate comfort food in winter. The creamy mustard greens (sarson ka saag) paired with cornflour flatbread (makki ki roti) and a dollop of white butter make for a hearty and nutritious meal.

Undhiyu

A Gujarati winter special, Undhiyu is a slow-cooked vegetable curry made with seasonal produce like yam, green beans, and eggplant, flavoured with spices and herbs. This dish is traditionally prepared in an earthen pot, giving it a rustic flavour.

Nolen Gur Sandesh

A Bengali dessert made with date palm jaggery (nolen gur) and fresh chhena (cottage cheese), Nolen Gur Sandesh is a winter-exclusive sweet treat. Its rich, caramel-like taste and creamy texture make it irresistible.
