Dilkush Recipe This is a popular South Indian sweet bread which is stuffed with coconut and tutti frutti. It is like a large bun with stuffing and the taste is just lip smacking. Dilkush means “Happy Heart” and yup, you will surely happy to have this bread as a dessert or as a snack as well. It is also known as dil pasand.
