Gulab Halwa

The famous Gulab Halawa, originally from Pali, has made its way to Jodhpur. Contrary to its name, this sweet treat is not made from rose petals nor does it resemble traditional halwa. Named after its creator, Gulaabji, it is a decadent variation of Alwar ka mawa. The milk used in its preparation is simmered for a prolonged period until it turns a rich shade of red, transforming its aroma from milky to caramel-like.

Rabri Ghevar

If you are in Rajasthan and you don&rsquot try ghevar then your trip has been wasted. The quintessential dessert of the state, this crispy honeycomb-like sweet deserves all the hype it garners. The crispy exterior is porous in texture which makes it perfect for heaping toppings. In this variation a hearty helping of creamy rabri is smeared on top of the ghevar which compliments the crunch of the dessert perfectly.
