This meal is delicious both hot and cold.
Shrikhand
Shrikhand, one of Maharashtra’s most nourishing desserts, is made from icy-cold creamy hanging curd and is flavored with sugar, cardamom, almonds, and saffron to give it a sweet, distinct flavor.

Both the classic and mango versions of shrikhand are a joyous sweet after an affair that you should add to your must-try bucket list.
Malpua
Malpua, another Maharashtrian sweet dish that you can’t get enough of, is coated in sugar syrup and topped with crunchy almonds. It looks like pancakes and is made using the deep-frying technique.
