Dessert is usually the last share of a meal, and is customarily sweet. The word dessert derived from French word commonly in practice during the 1539s ‘de-serve: desservir’ which means ‘to remove or eliminate what has been served on your plate’. The beginning of having sweet along with the main food in the Indian subcontinent can be traced back to 500 BCE. Therefore eating something sweet at the end of the meal has been a custom not only in India but also in the world, so here I present before you a very popular recipe of "Gajorer Payesh". This vegetable isn't liked by many, precisely by fussy kids like me but if prepared like this then it's gonna linger on your taste buds for a long time. This is a very nostalgic recipe of my grandmother who used to spoil me with these delicacies. Let's try our hands on this special recipe today.
