  1. Ghewar

Ghewar is a must-have Rajasthani dish during Teej. This is a round-shaped dessert made up of ghee, water, semolina, milk, sugar, flour, cardamom powder, dry fruits, and saffron. For the batter, mix ghee, flour and water in a bowl. Then, pour the batter into a circular mould placed in a heavy-bottomed pan filled with ghee. Fry till the batter gets golden brown and then soak it in sugar syrup. Finally, top the dish with malai and garnish with chopped nuts.

  1. Coconut Laddoo

These are quick to cook. For coconut laddoos, you need to take a pan and add ghee to it. Toss the dry fruits and nuts and transfer them to a plate. Then, in the same pan, add grated coconut and cook till it turns brown in colour. Then take a tray and add the coconut, jaggery, fennel seeds, sesame seeds and dry fruits. Roll the laddoos and serve.

  1. Dal Baati Churma

Teej is not complete without Dal Baati Churma. It is another well-known Rajasthani delicacy. This meal consists of dal, deep-fried or baked baati, and sweetened, cardamom-flavored churma.
