Thandai Parfait 🩷💚🧡

Since thandai is such an iconic drink enjoyed during Holi, I wanted to bring those familiar flavours into a dessert. I created a chilled parfait using a rabdi base, infused with saffron, nuts, and warm aromatic spices that reflect the classic thandai profile. It’s served over colourful white chocolate crumb for a bit of crunch and finished with pistachios, almonds, and rose petals, capturing the colours and festive spirit of Holi.
