Festive sweet recipes for Raksha Bandhan 2022

Festive sweet recipes for Raksha Bandhan 2022

Raksha Bandhan is an auspicious Indian tradition that is celebrated every year in August. Every year, the tradition of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated to strengthen the bond between a brother and a sister in the household. Every year during the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, a sister ties an amulet, known as Rakhi, to her brother as a symbol of protection.

After tying the Rakhi knot, the brother has to offer a gift to his sister at the end of each Raksha Bandhan ritual. Sweet products are mainly the choice of gifts to offer during the Raksha Bandhan ritual with milk chocolate being the most popular choice. Raksha Bandhan 2022 will be celebrated on the date of 11th August which falls on a Thursday.

Every year, Indian households celebrate this tradition by bringing together their complete family to honour the sacred bond between a brother and sister. The Raksha Bandhan tradition also gives an opportunity to create various sweet recipes for the whole family. In this article, we are going to look at various festive sweet recipes that can be prepared for the occasion of Raksha Bandhan 2022.

Scrumptious Atta Kheer

Kheer is a type of pudding that goes well with any type of celebration or auspicious occasion in Indian households. Kheer is a delicious dessert that can be savoured by all family members during the festive season. Usually, kheer is made by boiling milk, sugar and rice to create a creamy textured dessert. However, you can substitute the rice with Aashirvaad atta to create a wholesome blend of flavourful desserts for the Raksha Bandhan 2022 eve.

Whole Wheat Laddoo

Laddoos are perfect balls of sweetness that can be served during the festive season to celebrate different occasions. These balls of sweetness are made from flour, cow ghee, and sugar where each bite of a laddoo creates an explosion of flavour in the mouth. For this year’s Raksha Bandhan eve, give your laddoos a wholesome twist by using Aashirvaad atta in the laddoo batter alongside your favourite dry fruits. Make sure to prepare a whole bunch of whole wheat laddoos as a single laddoo is never enough to fulfil the sweet cravings of family members.

Wheat Almond Rose Halwa

Halwa is another popular sweet dish that is consumed on a wide scale during festive seasons in India. Traditionally, halwa is prepared using flour or semolina that is mixed with finely ground nuts and finally sweetened by sugar. Different types of halwa recipes can be created using different hero ingredients to create unique flavour profiles. For this year’s Raksha Bandhan eve, we can create a delicious halwa recipe made from Aashirvaad atta alongside the nutty flavours of almonds and pistachios.
