Eating traditional sweets during Indian festivals is a favourite for many people and the best feeling during this time of the year. However, Indian chefs have been taking the liberty over the last few decades to experiment with the local flavours, and more often than not, the result is absolutely delicious. 

Starting this weekend, many Indians not only in the country but around the world will be in the festive mood, starting with Raksha Bandhan 2025, set to be celebrated on August 9. While there are many traditional sweets like Akhrod and Badam ka Halwa, there are even items like Sweet Kachori, that immediately bring a smile to our face.

Even as you decide to enjoy them, Indian chefs across the country, have shared some interesting and innovative dishes. Can you imagine Kesar Peda but as cheesecake bites or a Veg Persian Special Biryani? They share detailed recipes for the sweets that can be made for Raksha Bandhan, along with others that will keep you busy. If you love cooking, makes these for your siblings, and just maybe they will be nice to you for the rest of the year, without mischief.
