Best Indian Desserts at Balti Indian Restaurant
- Gulab Jamun (Everyone’s Favourite)
Imagine taking a bite off of a warm, soft ball of heaven, that’s Gulab Jamun. These truly heavenly dumplings are made from a special dough of khoya and flour, shaped to spheres and later deep-fried to perfection. Once they’re fried, we soak them in fragrant sugar syrup infused not only with cardamom but also with rosewater. The result is this sweetly rich dessert that is pretty impossible to resist.
It is the perfect balance of textures and sweetness that melts in your mouth. Whether for special occasions or after every meal to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings, Gulab Jamun is an Indian Dessert you must try at least once in your lifetime. It can be found in almost every Indian Restaurant in Ontario.
- Ras Malai
Ras Malai is considered to be the king of all Indian sweets, as it is creamy and subtly sweet. For this, soft paneer dumplings are soaked in sweetened cold milk flavoured with cardamom and saffron and topped with slivers of pistachios or almonds. Among the most popular Indian desserts, each bite of Ras Malai will leave you asking for more of this luscious treat.
- Kheer (Rice Pudding)
Kheer, or Indian rice pudding, is really an ages-old dessert. Creamy and slow-cooked, this dish results from simmering rice in milk until it has reached rich, velvety consistency. Kheer gets its sweetness from sugar, flavour from cardamom and saffron, and texture from a generous handful of nuts like cashews, almonds, or pistachios.
While some may treat Kheer as their main dish, others find it suitable as a dessert. We? Well, we’re just happy to be able to serve both these types of customers with our authentic Indian Kheer.
- Mango Lassi
Although not a traditional Indian dessert per se, Mango Lassi is a much-cherished Indian drink that has often ended a meal. In effect, it is a beverage made of ripe mangoes blended with yogurt and only a slight addition of sugar. Creamy, tangy and sweet, our customers often prefer this drink to balance the spices that make Indian Food spicy.
- Sweet Lassi: The Classic Drink
Just like our Mango Lassi, our Sweet Lassi is another yogurt-based drink, except, this variant doesn’t contain mango and is flavoured with sugar and, sometimes, by rosewater or cardamom. Simply put, this beverage is a sweet delight that will cut practically every richness that is possessed by so many of our desserts. Enjoyed on its own or as a cooling balance to spicy food; the Sweet Lassi has been a timeless classic in India for centuries now.
A dessert experience unlike anything else.
We believe that dessert is an integral part of the dining experience. That’s why we go above and beyond to offer a selection that not only satisfies your sweet cravings but also introduces you to the diverse world of Indian sweets. From the syrupy goodness of Gulab Jamun to the creamy luxury of Ras Malai, each dessert is crafted with precision and love, ensuring a delightful ending to your meal.
