Khurchan

Khurchan is a traditional Indian sweet delicacy originating from North India. It is particularly associated with the cities of Delhi and Mathura. Its name 'Khurchan' is derived from the Hindi word khurchana, meaning "to scrape," which refers to the process of scraping off layers of thickened cream during its preparation. It is a seasonal sweet, often enjoyed during the winter months, and is known for its rich, creamy texture and distinct milky flavour. In 1999, during his Lahore bus ride to Pakistan, Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee carried khurchan for Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
