Raams

Raams are a type of traditional South Asian sweet dish, originating from the Indian subcontinent. The term "raam" is derived from the Sanskrit word "raman," which means "sweet." Raams are typically made from a mixture of sugar, milk, and sometimes ghee or butter, which is then boiled until it thickens into a syrup-like consistency. This syrup is then poured over a variety of ingredients, such as almonds, cashews, raisins, or dried fruits, which are often soaked in water or milk to soften them before being added to the syrup. The mixture is then allowed to cool and set, resulting in a sweet, chewy confectionery. Raams are often served during festivals and special occasions, and are also a popular treat during the winter months. They are typically enjoyed as a snack or dessert, and can be found in both sweet shops and home kitchens across South Asia.
