Desserts and sweet treats are my weakness. My lunch or dinner won’t be completeΒ unless I eat something sweet. So, I made this Gulkand Semiya Kheer for lunch today and enjoyed with my family. We usually make semiya kheer with cardamom and saffron flavors. I loved the addition of gulkand to it.
Gulkand is a sweet rose petal preserve. It has health benefits too apart from adding great flavors to any dish. It helps to keep your body cool especially in summer. You can simply mix a spoonful of gulkand with milk and consume every day in summer to avoid heat stroke. I love making desserts with gulkand like Gulkand paneer BurfiΒ or Gulkand Rabri.
So, sharing another easy dessert recipe today using gulkand in it. Make some Gulkand Semiya kheer with vermicelli, gulkand cooked in milk and enjoy with your family.

I have never heard of gulkand befote, but this sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Gulkand is rose petals preserve ????
this is a new one for me but cashews are a favorite of mine I will bet this is a dreamy kind of soup that is addicting. I would love to try this!
It’s a pudding ????
I am totally the same way with my meals. It’s so bad for me, but I love to have at least a little something sweet to finish it off. I’ve never heard of Gulkand before, but I love florals in my sweets, so this sounds just perfect. Yum!
Thank you ????
I love the taste and smell of Gulukand. Itβs hard to get it here so use rohafza instead ????!
Rohafsa is a good option too ????
