The Never Ending Love of Indians for Sweets

You need no reason to have Gulab Jamun. No occasion is insignificant to have sweets. Our love for sweets cannot be ignored when it comes to Indian Cuisine. In many western countries, sweets are had for desserts, which is the last course of the meal. Although in India, sweets are served along with the meal. During a celebration in some parts of the country, people begin their meal after they have had a bite of a specific traditional sweet to symbolize the celebration. 

In India, the cheer of festivities is incomplete without its food that includes the traditional Indian sweets. Be it any Indian festival, each of them here is celebrated with utmost enthusiasm. And the cultural diversity makes it better; more cultures, more types of sweets.  With the assortment of sweets available, no wonder how significant a part they are in our lives. ‘Mithai’ is how we address our precious sweets. They are sweeter and more intense than western ones and even richer since they are entirely prepared in Ghee. 

Sweets symbolizes good gesture in our country. You get a sense of warmth when you exchange sweets. Therefore, the first thing you taste are sweets; whether you start a new chapter in your life or when you pass with flying colours in your board exams, or even when you go for an important interview, you begin with ‘Muh Meetha’ custom. During festivals, it is not unusual to come across huge crowds at sweet shops. There’s no question about how these sweet delights add life to such occasions. 

Not exaggerating, but in Bengali households, even an ordinary meal is accompanied with a sweet dish such as Rasgulla or Sandesh. Having said that, you should not have to wait till Durga Puja to have Chamcham, an authentic Bengali sweet. It is simply not fair to have such a delicious sweet only once or twice a year. To treat yourself with the taste of bengal, you can buy Bengali Sweets at Mithai & More. 

Now for the health conscious ones, we believe that there's absolutely no reason for you to skip dessert if you're trying to cut back on sugar. While diabetics need to control their diet to help maintain a normal blood glucose profile, they don’t need to feel on the wrong side of the law just at the thought of desserts! It’s always  a good idea to add a low-cal sweetener to your desserts when you crave sugary treats. At Mithai & More you can get your hands on Zero Sugar Sweets to ensure that everyone at your feast has something sweet to look forward to!
