She posted a picture on her Instagram Stories showing a delicious bowl of sweets. He asked his fans, “Guess this Middle Eastern dessert.” Curious to know the name? Well, the delicious dish is the famous Egyptian bread pudding also known as Umm Ali. The delicious pastry comes with several flaky layers. It is soaked in a rich and aromatic custard made from milk, sugar and aromatic spices like cinnamon and cardamom.

Earlier this month, Ayushmann Khurrana enjoyed the traditional Punjabi sweet Panjiri. The festive favourite, Panjiri is prepared with a mixture of nuts, seeds, dry fruits (cashew nuts, almonds and raisins) and whole wheat flour. Mixed in ghee, the aromatic sweet bliss is simply irresistible. On Sunday, Ayushmann enjoyed home-made Panjiri following the recipe of Chef Ranveer Brar. She uploaded a photo on her Instagram Stories showing a container filled with golden, crispy Panjiri. The dessert was placed at the top of Ranveer Brar’s recipe book, A Journey Through India. “Panjeeri and (Ranveer Brar)’s recipe. Thank you, Paaji,” read her caption.

Last year, Ayushmann Khurrana jetted off to the city of happiness, Kolkata. His gastronomical adventure took the actor to the popular restaurant Peter Cat. There, they treated their taste buds to the iconic Chello Kebab. This amazing thali is served with a generous portion of rice, grilled tomatoes, seekh kebab and chicken kebab. Lots of butter and half a fried egg makes it the perfect meal. Full story here.
