Kharvas

Though this traditional Maharashtrian dessert is usually made at home, you can get a taste of this at quite a few local sweet shops in Ahmednagar. It’s a steamed milk pudding that is made from colostrum milk and flavoured with saffron, cardamom, and sugar, Kharvas has a silky-smooth texture and a delicate flavour that melts in your mouth. This luscious dessert is a festive favourite and is also quite healthy as it can boost immunity.

Shrikhand Puri

A tad more indulgent than your regular halwa puri, Shrikhand Puri is a heavenly combination of creamy Shrikhand and crispy puris which is a hit in Ahmednagar. Shrikhand is basically a sweetened creamy custard-like dessert made with strained yoghurt flavoured with saffron, cardamom, and nuts. The contrast of textures and flavours between the sweet and aromatic shrikhand and the savoury, ghee-fried puris is what makes this delicacy a hit.
