Agra's Petha

On hearing the name of Agra, the name of Taj Mahal first comes to mind. But apart from Taj Mahal, this city is also famous for its special kind of sweets. There is hardly anyone in India, who would not have heard the name of Agra's Petha. Although Petha is available to eat all over the country, but the taste of Petha found in Agra is different.

Mathura’s Peda

Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna, is well known for its tourism not only in the country but also abroad. Every year a large number of people come to visit here. This city is also very famous for its tree, which gives a feeling of the presence of Shri Krishna. It is believed that these trees found in Mathura were first made by mother Yashoda herself for Bal Gopal in the Dwapar era. In such a situation, if you are also going to Mathura, then do not forget to eat the delicious peda here.

Morena's Gajak

Many of us often eat Gajak in winters. Very tasty and beneficial for health Gajak is easily available everywhere, but whenever special Gajak is talked about, the name of Morena's Gajak always comes on people's lips. This Gajak is so famous across the country that recently it has also acquired GI tag. If you are also fond of sweets, then go to Morena once and taste the Gajak here.

Bengal’s Rasgulla

You must have eaten Rasgulla many times, but you will not find the taste of Bengal Rasgulla in any other part of the country. Many people would remember the name of Bengal on hearing Rasgulla. As sweet as the dialect here, equally sweet are the dishes here. If you are fond of eating sweets, then Bengal is no less than a paradise for you. You can relish Rasgulla as well as Mishti Doi, Sandesh and other sweet dishes here.

6/6

Rajasthan’s Ghevar

On hearing the name of Rajasthan, the name of Dal-Bati and Churma would come to the mind of most of the people. But another dish is very famous here, which is eaten with great gusto across the country. We are talking about Ghevar of Rajasthan, which most people like to eat especially during Raksha Bandhan. People like this dish made in pure desi ghee.
