The batter is typically flavored with a pinch of saffron and a drop of rose water, giving it a distinctive aroma and taste.

The preparation of keermpindade involves mixing the dry ingredients with ghee and water to form a smooth batter. This batter is then poured into a greased pan and cooked until it sets. Once cooked, the keermpindade is cut into small squares or diamonds and served warm or at room temperature. It is often garnished with chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios for added crunch and flavor.

Keermpindade is known for its rich, sweet flavor and its ability to hold its shape well, making it a favorite among dessert enthusiasts. It is often enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee, making it a perfect end to a meal. The dish is also popular in other parts of India, where it is sometimes referred to by different names, reflecting regional variations in preparation and ingredients.
