Festive Cooking with A2 Ghee: Sweets That Melt in Your Mouth
By the Faimly Farm Team · Festive sweets made with pure A2 ghee
Festivals in India are incomplete without sweets — and sweets are incomplete without ghee. A2 ghee, made from desi cows using the traditional bilona method, brings purity, rich aroma, and authentic taste to your festive table. Here are five iconic Indian sweets that taste richer and more authentic when made with Faimly Farm's A2 ghee.
1. Besan Ladoo
Why it's special: Roasting besan (gram flour) slowly in A2 ghee gives these ladoos a nutty aroma and melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Ingredients: besan, A2 ghee (1/2 cup), powdered sugar, cardamom, chopped nuts.
Pro tip: roast the besan slowly in A2 ghee for a golden colour and deep flavour.
2. Moong Dal Halwa
Why it's special: This rich dessert is known for its labour-intensive process — and generous A2 ghee makes it worth every minute.
Ingredients: soaked moong dal (ground), A2 ghee (3/4 cup), milk, sugar, cardamom, saffron.
Tip: roast the dal patiently in ghee until golden and fragrant for the best flavour.
3. Ghee Mysore Pak
Why it's special: A South Indian classic, Mysore Pak is all about ghee. Using A2 ghee gives it a clean, rich taste.
Ingredients: gram flour, A2 ghee (1 cup), sugar, water.
Texture tip: use warm A2 ghee for a soft, porous texture.
4. Ghee-Soaked Jalebi
Why it's special: Frying jalebis in A2 ghee instead of oil gives them a crisp shell and a buttery aroma.
Ingredients: all-purpose flour, yogurt, A2 ghee (for frying), sugar syrup with saffron.
Flavour note: A2 ghee adds depth and a rich aroma.
5. Atta Halwa (Kada Prasad Style)
Why it's special: This temple-style halwa is simple but divine. A2 ghee is the soul of its flavour and texture.
