  • Sweet

It goes without saying that India is known for its sweets and desserts. Being a diverse country, every state has its own specialty in its desserts. While West Bengal is known for its rosagullas, Maharashtra is known for its gujiyas and puran-polis, and Andhra Pradesh is known for Kaja and Mysore Pak. Whatever the occasion, Indians love to celebrate it with sweets and desserts. Every street in the country has at least 2-3 sweets shops lined up. A lot of people wouldn’t call it a meal unless a sweet in involved, and that says a lot about Indians having a sweet tooth always! So, if you’re an Indian or you’re going to visit the country then here are the 15 most popular desserts you ought to know about

Laddu

Now laddu is like the “go-to” sweet for everyone. No matter what the occasion is, you’ll find a box of laddus in every families’ house. Laddu has plenty of varieties, but the most popular one would be the motichoor laddu which is made of small boondis and formed into a ball. Laddus are also considered to be auspicious. The origin of this sweet they say is from ancient India itself.

Kheer

Also known as Payasam in South India, kheer is rich in milk and nuts. Kheer is both made with rice and vermicelli. The rice is boiled in the milk and nuts like almonds, cashews and raisins are added to it along with saffron and cardamom. Kheer, when made with vermicelli in south India, is called Seviyan.

Gulab Jamun

Who doesn’t love the brown, soft and sweet, round balls which gets everyone drooling at the very mention of it? The deep-fried sweet balls are soaked in sugar syrup and served along with it. Gulab Jamuns’ presence is mandatory in every festival in India.

Gajar ka halwa

Gawar ka Halwa basically originated during the Muslim festivals, but now Gajar ka Halwa is prepared at every single occasion in the country. It is made with grated carrots, milk, and cardamom which are fried in ghee and sugar.

Sandesh

Bengalis are the epitome of sweets and desserts, and their sweets are unmatchable in the country. Sandesh is an underdog sweet of Bengal which not many know about but is probably one the tastiest sweets ever. Sandesh is basically prepared from Chenna, which is made from the residue of milk when it gets curdled.

Rasagulla

Rasagulla like Sandesh is prepared from chenna. The round dumplings are boiled in sugar syrup until the syrup is totally absorbed by the dough. Rasagulla is made from both sugar and Jaggery. This is a sweet you will find in every nook and corner of West Bengal, and you cannot resist after having one.

Kaju Barfi

They say sweets cannot be devoured in heaps, but the saying goes false for this particular sweet. Made of cashew nuts, these sweets are diamond shaped and probably one of the most expensive sweets in India. These sweets are gifted to family members and friends during any festive season.

Kulfi

Kulfis are Indian ice creams which are made of milk and nuts and saffron. Kulfi is said to have been borrowed from a Persian Cuisine.

Jalebi

Rasmalai

Ghevar

Peda
