5. Badam ka Halwa :
Ever since my childhood, I have been encouraged to have a tablespoon of this halwa every morning in the winters. I used to look forward to winters because of this morning ritual. This is a rich recipe and one can’t have too much of it at one time but it is delicious nevertheless. It has been my all time favourite winter recipe.
6. Dal Bati Churma :
Dal Bati Choorma is a Rajasthani Dish which has three main servings Dal(lentil), Bati (baked wheat balls) and Choorma (sweet cereal powder). Dal is served with Bati and Churma. The preparations take longer as compared to other Indian dishes as all the three servings are prepared separately. It is one of the most common preparation in all kinds of functions, including religious occasions, wedding ceremonies and birthday parties in Rajasthan.
