Indian sweets are known as 'Mithai'. They rely heavily on sugar, milk and condensed milk and frying, however, the bases of the sweets vary by region. They are more intense and sweeter than western sweets and desserts and quite a bit heavier since they're made mainly in Ghee which is clarified butter.

Each dessert, with its unique taste, appearance and preparation, fights for the position of India’s favourite sweet. Some would vouch for the wholesome Gulab Jamun, some might argue that nothing better than Rossogulla exists, and there will always be a group that will question what can beat a fresh, hot Jalebi.
