Indian sweets are known as “Mithai” or “Meetha” in Hindi and are a must-have for festivals, get-togethers as well as celebrations big and small. Most Indian sweets use basic ingredients such as all-purpose flour, gram flour, semolina, nuts, ghee, sugar, jaggery, and milk. They also use floral spices like cardamom, nutmeg, and saffron to enhance the flavors and aromas. Enter your email & I’ll send it to your inbox. Plus, get great new recipes from me every week!

Although Indian desserts are available in stores and restaurants, making them at home is fun.

We had so much fun getting to bond over stories of how I celebrated these festivals growing up in India.
