Mouth-watering Indian Sweets

Indian desserts are very tempting and mouth watering. Sweets are made for every occassion, weddings, births, festivals- no meal is complete without a sweet delight.


These balls are known as Gulab Jamun. Made from milk and flour, these balls are fried in ghee and served with a syrup flavoured with cardamon seeds and saffron.


There are many different kinds of Barfi . You can add just about anything to flavour them including vegetables! Chocolate and coconut being my personal favs.


This is coconut candy, all pretty in pink. These candies are usually made from evaporated milk, condensed milk and freshly grated coconut. You can add different colourings and flavourings when making your own at home. Usually they make pink, green, plain vanilla or chocolate ones.


These powdery light brown balls are known as Ghee Balls. It's usually made from finely grinded roasted cashewnuts, flour, ghee and sugar. Pop one ball into your mouth for that melt in the mouth sensation.
