`MuSt' DeSSerts

Griddled Clove Infused Chocolate Mousse with almond foam and Khajoori Shahi Tukda(Bread Pudding).
This Shahi tukda i made by sandwiching the Brioche bread with a Mejool date mince.Unlike the Traditional Shahi Tukda the bread is not fried.It is Pan Toasted to make crisp crusts that then absorbs all the flavours from the Rabri(sweet condensed milk).
Jaggery is considered to be wholesome sugar and unlike refined Sugar it retains more mineral salts.Moreover the Jaggery making process does not involve chemical agents.Date Palm
Jaggery(Khejur Gur) is made by boiling sap from the Date Palm.Fetching the sap is a skill full job and involves a lot of patience while the sap collects in an earthenware pot during the day.
Desserts are the most creative and fitting end to any Meal.This more than extraordinary, in taste,`Khejur Gurer Rasmalai' is poached in a reduction of Date Palm Jaggery flavoured Milk and is a speciality from West Bengal.
`Kesar-Elaichi Rasmalai' on the other hand is a more commonly found and a popular Indian Dessert.This Rasmalai has a completely different and a divine melt in the mouth experience!
It also shows the uniqueness of Indian cuisine where Green Cardamom(Elaichi) from the South combines with the Saffron(Kesar) from North to represent another marraige of spices made in Heaven!
