This is a list of Indian sweets and desserts, also called mithai, a significant element in Indian cuisine. Indians are known for their unique taste and experimental behavior when it comes to food. Many Indian desserts are fried foods made with sugar, milk or condensed milk. Ingredients and preferred types of dessert vary by region.
The origin of sweets in the Indian subcontinent has been traced to at least 500 BCE when, records suggest, both raw sugar (gur, vellam, jaggery) and refined sugar (sarkara) were being produced. [20] By 300 BCE, kingdom officials in India were acknowledging five kinds of sugar in official documents.
Laddu or laddoo is a spherical sweet from the Indian subcontinent made of various ingredients and sugar syrup or jaggery. It has been described as "perhaps the most universal and ancient of Indian sweets." [1] Laddus are often served during celebrations and religious festivals, especially those associated with the Hindu deity Ganesha. [1] [2] [3]
Soan papdi (Bengali: শন পাপডি় śan pāpṛi, Hindi: सोन/सन पापड़ी son/sohan pāpṛī), also known as san papri, shompapri, sohan papdi, shonpapdi [1] is a popular dessert in the Indian subcontinent. It is made of gram flour (besan), all-purpose flour, ghee, sugar and milk. [2]
Makhan Bada is a traditional dessert originating from the Indian subcontinent. [2] It is also known as Balusaahi and is similar to a glazed doughnut in terms of Ingredients, but differs in texture and taste. Makhan Bada also resembles Rajasthani Baati in terms of size & preparation but resembles more with Medu Vada in terms of shape.
Gajar ka halwa is a combination of nuts, milk, sugar, khoya and ghee with grated carrots. [11] [12] It is a light nutritious dessert with less fat (a minimum of 10.03% and an average of 12.19%) than many other typical sweets from the Indian subcontinent. [13]
Sohan halwa (top shelf) and other traditional sweets. In Old Delhi, in 1790, a Ghantewala sweet shop established during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II made sohan halwa. It was a popular attraction, [2] [3] but in 2015 it closed due to a lack of profitability. [4] This sweet was originally called sohan in Khariboli (Hindi).
There has been a recent move to make local sweet makers aware of intellectual property rights, and Geographical Indications Protection (GI Protection) under the Geographical Indications of Goods Act of 1999, which would allow them to gain protection for local specialties such as bal mithai and singhauri, which are symbolic to Kumaon.
