Grilled peaches, white chocolate rabdi and cardamom panna cotta
Item 1 of 1
This grilled peaches recipe is definitely a bit more refined than grilled summer fruits people are used to. Vineet Bhatia's delicious Indian dessert is easy to make, especially if you make his panna cotta and grilled almonds in advance and save the final grilling of the peaches for the last minute.
