Description

Indian sweets, or mithai, are a diverse, rich, and essential part of Indian culture, often starring in festivals, weddings, and daily life. They are typically made from milk, milk solids (khoa/mawa), sugar, ghee (clarified butter), lentils, and nuts, often seasoned with cardamom, saffron, or rose water. Common types range from syrup-soaked fried dumplings and dense milk-based fudges to nutritious nut-based bites.
