Foodies: Indian Food HELP!

My friends and I have a dinner club -  once a month a different couple hosts the party at their house and each month that host gets to choose the cuisine - and the other members have to sign up for an appetizer, dessert side dish - and the host makes the main dish(es).  So - tomorrow my friend is hosting Indian night and I have the task of making dessert.  Anyone know of a yummy Indian dessert?

I found this but I don't know what any of this is....I suppose I can just click through and find something that sounds good.  But I wasn't sure if anyone had a yummy dessert idea. Any insight?

  • What about mango lassi ice cream? Mango lassi is definitely an Indian restaurant staple (not sure how authentically Indian it actually is, though). I don't have a recipe and have never had it as ice cream, but I bet it would be yummy! If you don't have an ice cream maker, you could get store bought vanilla ice cream and mix it with pureed mango and a bit of cardamom in a kitchen aid (I've done this to make rosewater ice cream before) and then refreeze. If you have an ice cream maker, you could just do a mango/cardamom ice cream or sherbet. 
  • epicurious.com is one of my fav sites - you can search by cuisine and course.  this is the result of indian + dessert:

    p.s. I like to read the reviews of what others say to get ideas of how to tweak it and whatnot.

    That's what I was going to suggest.

    I have seen a rice pudding in every indian restaurant as well. And it's really easy to make, you may need to get cardamom or rose water from somewhere.
