There’s something timeless about traditional Indian desserts that draw from the richness of indigenous cuisine. Chef Dharmendra, who works with Brij Lakshman Sagar in Rajasthan, believes that it’s always the right time to reconnect with our roots through food that tells a story.
Ingredients like makka, bajra, ghee, jaggery, and kachra are sourced directly from the Pali region, supporting local agricultural practices and celebrating the flavours of the land. The recipes are deeply inspired by rural kitchens—where food was crafted not just for indulgence, but for nourishment and wellbeing. These age-old traditions often brought families together, with women preparing special treats for their loved ones, creating moments of joy and connection.
“This Makka Churma Ladoo recipe is one of those nostalgic dishes that takes you straight down memory lane,” says Chef Dharmendra.
