Phirni, a north-Indian delicacy, claimed the 7th spot on the list. It is a creamy dessert made with ground rice, milk, sugar and aromatic cardamom.
Kheer, on the other hand, grabbed the 10th spot. While its ingredient base remains common – rice and milk, the final taste varies greatly depending on the spices, nuts and fruits added. This delightful pudding is usually made during festivals, carrying with it integral cultural significance.

India's national sweet is "Jalebi." Jalebi is a delicious and popular dessert made by deep-frying a wheat flour batter into a pretzel or spiral shape and then soaking it in sugar syrup. It's known for its crispy texture and sweet taste, making it a favorite treat for many people across the country.
But the malpua deserves a lot of respect after all it is India's oldest known dessert! Malpua, which are small deep fried pancakes that are soaked in a sugary syrup, come in various forms across India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan. The first reference to these sweetmeats is in the Rigveda where it is called apupa.
While there is no said 'national dish' for India, Khichdi is often suggested. Hence, many restaurants in Nashua create this delectable dish. Recognized by a large number of the population, this dish fits seamlessly into many cultures, religions, and social classes of the diverse country.
