These sweets are famous for their intense sweetness and variety. Among the popular types are Gulab Jamun, which are deep-fried dough balls soaked in sugar syrup, and Jalebi, which are crisp, spiral-shaped sweets made by frying batter and then soaking it in syrup.
Many mithai varieties boast a rich sweetness complemented by the refreshing aroma of spices such as cardamom and cinnamon.

1. FRESH BESAN LADOO:
"Ladoo" gained widespread recognition from its appearance in the movie "English Vinglish," where the main character Shashi, portrayed by Sridevi, makes laddus that attract many admirers. This has sparked an interest in trying authentic laddu among viewers.
Ladoo is made from chickpea flour (besan), oil, and butter, resulting in a rich, melt-in-the-mouth texture full of the umami of chickpeas. Its taste, reminiscent of kinako (roasted soybean flour), has also made it popular in Japan.
Kaju Katli (Kaju Katri) is a traditional North Indian delicacy made with kaju (cashew nuts). The cashew nuts are finely ground and blended with green cardamom and sugar, imparting a refreshing sweet aroma. Despite its sweetness, the richness and fragrance of the cashew nuts combined with the distinctive flavor of cardamom create an irresistible treat that leaves you wanting more.
Due to its relatively dry texture and long shelf life, mithai is a popular snack often brought back as a souvenir from India.
3. FRESH COCONUT BARFI:
Coconut Barfi is a delightful confection made by blending copious amounts of coconut with sugar and cream. Pistachios and almonds are then added to enhance its flavor. This sweet treat is particularly popular in South India. As you chew, the sweet, milky taste and the aroma of coconut spread throughout your mouth. Coconut Barfi is often prepared for festivals and prayers, making it a staple in celebratory and religious occasions.
This Indian sweet is a delightful confection made with a generous amount of pistachios, cashew nuts, and almonds, all kneaded together with dates and raisins. It is then sliced like salami and accented with a unique poppy seed "bubble wrap." Each bite reveals a symphony of flavors from the fruit and nuts, making it a masterpiece of deliciousness. This treat pairs perfectly with both tea and wine, offering a versatile indulgence for any occasion.
