INDIAN SWEETS

  Mithais, or sweet treats, are an integral part of Indian cuisine. While they're enjoyed during a hearty meal, sweets and desserts are also central to Indian festivals. Some of these, like laddu, originated in ancient India, but many of them were introduced to the country by the Mughal rulers who came from Persia.

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.
