Truly a royal dessert, as its name suggests, Shahi Tukra is a rich bread pudding with dry fruits, flavoured with cardamom. This great Indian dessert is simple to make.

2. Bread Gulab Jamun

An easy twist to the traditional Gulab Jamun. Thanks to the twist, this mouthwatering sweet dish takes much less of a time to prepare and tastes equally delicious.

An underrated food which can easily be devoured gluttonously. This dish can be served hot or cold with Rabdi, garnished with almond and pistachio slivers.

4. Kaju Barfi (Cashew Confectionery)

A Deepavali without Kaji Katli is like a CNY without an Ang Pow. This rich and sweet Indian cuisine is one of the easiest sweet recipes to follow.

5. Seven Cups Burfi

As the name suggests, it's delicious and easy to make sweet dish involving 7 equal quantities of cakes. If you're looking for an easy Deepavali dish, then this Seven Cups Burfi is a must try.

6. Goan Nevri (Sweet Dumplings)

A Konkani sweet dish, Nevri is quite similar to a Karanji from Maharashtra or Gujiya from Uttar Pradesh. Stuffed with a grated coconut along with almonds, this sweet dish is specially made during Deepavali festive seasons.

7. Coconut Burfi
