Recipe: Whip up paneer jalebi, shakkarpara, balu shahi at home this festive week

Be it Diwali, Eid or Christmas, festivals in India are synonymous with lip-smacking desserts to add some sweetness to the traditional celebrations and act as an excuse to bond with family and friends. With Dussehra and Milad-un-Nabi gone and Karva Chauth and Diwali on their way, we are right in the middle of the festival celebrations which is a perfect excuse to whip up mouthwatering paneer jalebi, shakkarpare and balu shahi at home.

If there is one good that emerged out of Covid-19 lockdown, it was the polishing of our kitchen skills as we went from baking our own bread (read banana bread) to trying our hands on Dalgona coffee and even complex main course meals since ordering from outside was out of question. As the pandemic continues to rage outside, we decided to straighten out chef hat again and whip up some paneer jalebi, shakkarpare and balu shahi at home this festive week.
