Kansar

(कंसर)

Kansar is a traditional dessert dish originating from Gujarat in Western India. Its main ingredient is cracked wheat, combined with ghee and jaggery. The dessert is traditionally made as a good omen during festive occasions such as weddings, when it is customary for the bride and groom to taste it on their wedding day.


After the marriage, kansar is the first dish that should be cooked by the bride if she is cooking at her in-laws' house for the first time.
