Homemade Indian Desserts and Refreshing Drinks
Every great meal deserves a gentle, sweet finish. I prepare these traditional sweets and refreshing drinks just like I do for my own family—simple, wholesome, and made with plenty of love.
A spoonful of my creamy Simaiya Kheer. You can see the rich texture and the generous amount of nuts that I add to every serving.
My homemade Til Ke Laddoo, made with sesame seeds and jaggery. These are a traditional, healthy sweet, perfect for festivals or as a simple, guilt-free indulgence.
My Sooji Halwa, a simple and classic Indian dessert. This one was part of my festive Christmas menu, sweetened just right and topped with slivered almonds.
I make this refreshing Aam Panna from fresh, raw mangoes and mint. It's a sweet and tangy drink that's perfect for cooling down, and I often include it with my subscription meals in the summer.
Here's a look at a complete meal featuring my homemade Aam Panna. The meal includes pooris, chole, dal, rice, and raita, with the drink providing a perfect, refreshing balance.
When mangoes are in season, I love to include fresh, ripe mango slices with my meals. It's a simple, natural dessert that everyone enjoys.

About this collection
You won't find any artificial colors or preservatives in my kitchen. When I make a batch of Sooji Halwa or brew fresh Aam Panna, I use the same fresh ingredients I would use at home. It is exactly why these sweets taste different from store-bought versions—they are made to nourish, not just to look good.
Sweets Made with Patience
I believe that dessert should be a natural extension of your meal, not a heavy afterthought. Whether it is Gajar ka Halwa during winter or Til Ke Laddoo for a festive occasion, I stick to traditional methods. I do not use store-bought packets or artificial additives. If you see almonds in my Kheer, they are hand-slivered. If you drink my Aam Panna, you are tasting raw mangoes and mint, not a syrup.
Refreshing Drinks & Seasonal Treats
My drink menu changes with the weather in Bangalore. During the hot summer months, I focus on cooling beverages like Aam Panna to keep you hydrated and refreshed. Because I run a small, home-based setup, I can manage small, specific requests for your events.
Ordering for Events
Planning a corporate lunch or a small family get-together? These desserts work well as part of a larger catering order.
- Portion Sizes: I can scale these up for parties. Let me know your guest count in advance so I can plan the preparation.
- Customization: If you have a specific traditional dessert in mind that is not on the list, ask me. I am happy to adjust if it fits my homestyle cooking method.
Everything is delivered in eco-friendly packaging, ensuring your sweet ending is as gentle on the earth as it is on your palate.
One Humble Meal
I am Sanjhanaa, and I believe the best way to wrap up a meal is with something honest and sweet. My kitchen in GM Palya is where I craft these little joys, ensuring every laddoo or glass of aam panna feels like a hug in food form.
