A unique winter sweet is catching people’s attention online: Pink Gajak. A variation of the classic gajak, it blends the aroma of rose petals with the crunch of dry fruits. An Instagram video (by @foodie_bite_) captured the process of making this sweet treat, and it’s not hard to see why it’s gone viral. The process begins with the careful preparation of the sugar-rich syrup, where water is heated and brought to a boil, after which a generous helping of sugar is added. The syrup is thickened with a binding agent before being poured into a flat pan, ready to be transformed into something special.
In this way mixing of different materials takes place. To the syrup base, a variety of crunchy ingredients, such as nuts, raisins and various types of seeds, are added. These ingredients are carefully mixed with the thickened syrup until they are evenly coated. The magic happens when the final touch is added – rose petals. As the petals blend, the entire blend transforms into a floral note that takes Gajak to new heights.
