Inspired by a recipe from BBC Good Food, this classic North Indian dessert is the perfect way to finish any Diwali feast.
It might take a little while to make, but don’t let that put you off! It’s actually very simple, and (thankfully!) the hob does most of the work.
Why not put a fresh twist on this fudgy dessert by using the fresh carrots from your HeroGo delivery? It’s a great way to help keep your Diwali celebrations more sustainable this year.
