Both Punjabi families and festivals are incomplete without lots of delicious food, no matter how big or small the celebration is, it cannot happen without various dishes and culinary items to eat.

Wheat Kheer
Apart from many delicious dishes, wheat kheer is definitely made for sweets. Wheat kheer is one of the most delicious and healthy foods. Actually, after harvesting the wheat crop, farmers make kheer from this new wheat.
Kadha Prasad
