Pakistan Desserts For Your Next Dawat

Here I round up the most popular Pakistani dessert recipes that people love to have on dawat, parties, family get together, weddings and festivals.

1) Phirni

Phirni is another version of kheer that looks thicker and creamier than kheer. Here I prepared Pakistani style phirni with soaked and finely ground rice and milk. Topped with pistachios and saffron makes it super delicious and tempting. A chilled bowl of creamy phirni in mitti ki thali can transform your mood and rejuvenate your soul.

2) Sheer Khurma

In Pakistan desserts, Sheer khurma has a special placement as it's a signature dessert of Eid. It's a combination of vermicelli (sevai), milk, and nuts. Extremely healthy and nutritious sweet recipe.

Eid brings festivity not only with religious obligation but also connects people with love and affection. Sheer khurma is the symbolic eid dessert that every Muslim house serve to their guest.

3) Sweet Toast (Meethay Toast)

It's a form of toast that every country makes but in a different style. Here in Pakistan, we make it by adding the delicacy of our sweet flavors to make it tasty. A small bite of sweet toast will melt in your mouth with the creamy sweetness of toasted bread. You can compare this with shahi tukra but it's not the shahi tukra. It has its own flavor that needs to be experienced. An easy recipe that you can quickly prepare with dinner or good to have for breakfast with coffee. Kids love this type of toast as it's soft and juicy and fully dunked in a milky flavor.

It's not wrong if I say, it's a hybrid version of shahi tukra, meetha toast, and double ka meetha. Let's make it and see how it turned out...
