i strongly believe that there is a strong misunderstanding and misconception about dilkush recipe and its preparation. i think many easily believe that recipes like dilpasand are best suited for bakery and should not be attempted at home. even i had the same opinion while i was doing my engineering and i assumed that, it may even require special equipment’s to prepare. however i now know that i was totally wrong and even such complex looking recipes can be easily prepared with basic equipment’s at home. in addition, i would say the recipe is even easier if you opt for the store-bought puff pastries. however, in this recipe, i have shown from scratch with detailed steps to make dilkush from bread dough.
the recipe for dilpasand is extremely simple without any complicated steps, yet some tips and suggestions to it. firstly, use fresh and good quality yeast, else the bread will turn chewy. also, the stuffing can be made more colourfull by adding colourfull tutti frutti and cherries. lastly, roll the dough slightly thick and poof them before baking, to make sure dilpasand more soft and tasty.
