Raksha Bandhan is around the corner and traditional Indian sweets are going to be the most popular food items on everyone’s must-have list. And, while there is no doubt that the tried and tested recipes that have been handed down by our parents and grandparents are always winners, the festive season is the perfect time to get experimental. With diet plans and salad bowls out of the window, now would be the best time to get creative with your dessert recipes. This time around, we have decided to give the humble barfi a festive twist in not one but seven unique ways.

These recipes may sound distinct, but they are simple to make. Some of them may even be a tad bit healthier and tastier than the conventional barfi. Take a look at this special list that we have curated for you.
