starting with the dough made of
saturated and blended almonds and sugar

consists mainly of almonds then they
pile on roasted almonds and Rose syrup

room or they're serving the dessert is
just full of pots and pans and cooking
different things going on look at this
place
[Music]
how many people are working here
creating all this food I don't whoa it's
not so obvious downstairs but then you
come up the elevator and you just see
there's so many tests to be done now
here they're making rasgulla
here they are making mawa so this whole
machine
they put normal milk in here when it's
solid enough you just dump it into here
I would love to try it this is a kind of
common ingredient here my walk right we

with sugar added so it's a little sticky
as you chew it this is sweet something

we came here for one of the most unique
desserts in all of India it's called
pista pan gallery with some ingredients
I've never met before what is this one
it looks like caramelized onions no it's
not it's noise mom look at this that's
so nuts but it looks like they've
caramelized them maybe there's some
sugar mixed in there with them before we
cook it we're gonna just sample it a
little bit oh very perfume that is a
very interesting ingredient one of the
most complex but satisfying sweets I've
ever discovered you can't appreciate
this food without understanding what
goes into it first they need to make the
punt or green portion of the dessert it
starts with cashews and pistachios that
have been soaked in water then ground
into a paste then they prepare the wok I
think it becomes kind of a syrup ah yeah
I guess I did learn a thing or two in
food college then they add ghee and the
ground nut paste pistachio powder brings
out more pistachio flavor and eventually
the whole concoction becomes a vibrant
green paste oh that is a beautiful shade
of green while that cools down we make
the masala or the red part rose petals
pistachios roasted almonds me Sri or
sugar crystals poppy seeds and their own
luxurious punch at me what is going on
here this is gold it's not gold it's a
silver leaves and it's mixed with sugar
syrup and saffron alright my wish did
not come true after it's mixed in
settles for an hour it looks like this
how many kilograms of desserts have you
secretly just all
sweet before sending it hey I feel that
now the assembly flattening the green
pistachio paste and cut it into squares
each piece is shaped into a small cone
then stuffed with our beautiful masala
silver is carefully wrapped around the
pond then the final touch made with a
saffron and rosewater mixture he's
giving a little bindi to it yeah
wait is that right yeah
