The flour is infused with dried melon seeds to introduce a nutty flavour to the laddus.

The barfi itself can be of different types including the besan barfi, kaju barfi or kaju katli, chocolate barfi, pista Barfi, almond or badam barfi.
Kheer is a beloved traditional rice pudding that is prepared by slow-cooking milk, double cream, soaked raisins, flaked almonds, castor sugar, basmati rice, and green cardamom pods which is then garnished with a few saffron strands.
