Teej Special Dishes to Make at Home During Sawan

Teej is a happy festival in India that people celebrate when the rainy season arrives.

Families in places like Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh get together to eat special food.

Some of the dishes are sweet, while others are salty and crunchy.

Ghewar is a famous sweet that looks like a honeycomb, made by pouring thin batter into hot ghee.

It is often topped with sugar syrup, nuts or saffron.

Malpua is a soft syrup-soaked pancake that can be served warm with rabri.

Kheer is a creamy dessert made by cooking rice slowly in milk with sugar and spices, and it can be made ahead of time.

Dal Kachori is a crispy pastry filled with spiced lentils, perfect with chutneys.

Mathri are crisp, flaky bites made from flour, ghee and spices.

Best of all, everyone can add their own family touch, like extra cardamom or saffron, to make the dishes their own.
