Each festival brings with it different types of Indian mithai. Similarly different parts of India whip out their own food specialties for celebrations. All things sweet are associated with occasions and festivals but sometimes even savory is included in celebrations.
Sweets in Temple
As a tradition, Indian temples believe in the concept of purity. There is a belief in first offering prasad to the Gods and then to everyone else. Only pure food is offered to the Gods. Thus Indian mithai which has ghee, sugar, and milk as its primary ingredients is often the chosen one. Since all the things that go into making sweets are pure thus they are considered safe for offering to Gods in temples.
Role of sweets – Festival
We cannot imagine Indian festivals without sweets. Traditionally, most Indian sweets are deep-fried in oil under open fire. The recipe of the sweets depends on the region, but the usual suspects are milk, chickpea flour, semolina, coconut and, rice. On their own, these ingredients may not sound too appetizing but a knowledgeable cook can easily transform them into delectable sweets flavored with cardamom, saffron, and rose water.
Milk is incredibly important in India. Especially for making desserts. Whether tuned into cheese dumplings, fudge, pudding, ice cream, or sauce, milk takes on countless forms to satisfy even the most discerning palate. A small bite of sweets after a meal fulfills the day. Native treats bring this joy to your doorstep. Order your favorite sweet or snack and get it delivered from our hygienic and authentic kitchens.
