5 Winter Sweets You Must Not Miss Out On!

The winter is at its peak and with this, the laziness increases too. Superfoods are one of the best to be consumed during winters! In India, people start including certain sweets in their diet to keep themself energetic, warm, and relaxed. Let’s have a look at a few of the winter sweets you can enjoy:

Gajar Ka Halwa – This mouth-watering dish made with “desi” carrots is best known for its taste and warmth. The sweet dessert comes packed with nutrition containing an ample amount of vitamins and low fat in it. The dish containing calcium helps in increasing the density of bones and reduces the risk of Osteoporosis. The dessert is made from a mixture of grated carrots, milk, and ghee and is one of the most favorite dishes in India.

Moong Dal Halwa – With the burst of flavors in it, the Moong Dal Halwa is also amongst the most preferred desserts in winters. The sweet dish has the goodness of ghee and moong dal, making it one of the most liked sweet dishes in the country. Although, preparing it is a little daunting task yet it’s worth having it. The fiber and protein contained in the yellow dal and milk prevent the deposition of bad cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart issues.

Gulab Jamun – Who doesn’t know about Gulab Jamun! Although Gulab Jamun can be easily enjoyed in any season, during winters they taste even better. The spongy brown balls are made of Khoya, Maida, Kesar, and cardamom and are very helpful in digestion and bowel movement. It contains Vitamin A and protein in it.

  • Rabri Jalebi

Jalebi With Rabri – The round and twisted-looking sweet is the beloved or in other words favorite of almost every Indian. The deep-fried, crispy Jalebi’s are phenomenal when tasted with thick Rabri (sweet Condensed Milk). The sweet doesn’t only go well in winters but is an all-weather treat. The dish is rich in carbohydrates, fats, and sugar. So if you are feeling stressed, lazy or tired, Jalebi’s are the best stress buster and great in providing you instant energy.

Wheat Halwa (Punjabi Kada Halwa) – The sweet delicious-looking dessert or halwa is also known as Kada Prashad especially served in Gurudwara’s (The Worship place for Sikh people). The soft, smooth, velvety-looking halwa is made up of whole wheat flour containing an ample amount of ghee in it. So if you don’t have any problem with a little bit of extra cholesterol then the sweet might be of great taste to you. The dish is a good source of Calcium, fiber, and carbohydrates which help in better digestion and act as a natural lubricant to the bone.

So why should one consider having such winter treats?

When it comes to health, for many, winters are about warmth and good immunity. So in order to reduce the risk of catching any type of flu (Common cold and Cough), one needs to stay warm.

So what are you waiting for? Roll up your sleeves, put on your pajamas, and get ready to enjoy these desserts of all times.

I am so excited to share with you all that I am fe I am so excited to share with you all that I am featured in your and my favourite store - IKEA! 

Last year, I was approached by IKEA to be a part of their campaign called “Store Who You Are".

I had the opportunity to work with their team virtually to bring my storage story to life through pictures and videos. Along with my husband, we created the most beautiful setups in our home, showcasing how I use different products to keep my tea shelf organized and functional. The team at IKEA made a beautiful setup and showcased how I can remake my space for better and more organized storage.

Fast forward to today, I am beyond excited to share that I am now featured on IKEA.com and will be featured in IKEA stores across the globe! Not sure if I would make up to the walls of IKEA Mumbai (where I reside), but hopefully somewhere in India! 

Also, a video featuring my story would be soon on IKEA social channels. It’s hard to put into words how surreal this feels.

I never imagined that my passion for writing about tea could lead me to something this big!

I am grateful to each one who helped me reach here!

Masala Chai is amongst the most liked teas in Indi Masala Chai is amongst the most liked teas in Indian houses. During monsoon and winter, masala chai tastes even better because of the punch of spices and aroma. 

I tried Masala Chai from @danke.tea.foods, and here's my review. 

Aroma: Typically, masala chais have a prominent aroma which easily helps one identify the spices in it. Most of these teas may have a spice that may dominate and make or break your entire tea drinking experience. One good thing about Danke Tea Masala Chai is, it has a very balanced aroma of spices. 

Ingredients in @danke.tea.foods Masala Tea : Assam CTC Black Leaf Tea, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Cardamom, Clove, Nutmeg & Dried Ginger.

Color: On brewing, the tea has not very dark color. If you like a dark color of tea, you will have to add more tea leaves and brew for a lesser duration.

Taste: It has the right kick of spices and a sweet finish that will make you crave for more. 

Cost: They have packaging of 250gms available on their website which costs 155 Rs i.e. 620 Rs for a kg. As compared to other brands, the cost is quite decent and affordable.

All in all, @danke.tea.foods masala chai is a delightful, spicy and warm cup of tea perfect for the cold days.
