Hyderabad, Telangana Feb 21, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - Mirchi Bites is one of the best online shopping stores in India for Indian Sweets. People in countries like India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka love sweets called Mithai. They have been enjoying them for a long time. The making of sugar started in these countries around 8000 years ago. The word "sugar" comes from a Sanskrit word meaning refined sugar, and "candy" comes from a word meaning unrefined sugar. These countries have a wide variety of sweets, and some say they have the most diverse and meaningful sweets in the world. Also, let us take a look at the various Indian Sweets.
Barfi
Barfi is a yummy sweet made from milk solids or condensed milk, along with nuts like cashews or pistachios. Some barfis also use different flours like gram flour. You can find barfi in various flavors, including mango, banana, berries, or coconut. People sometimes add spices like cardamom and rose water for extra taste. Also, people enjoy barfi in every state of India.
Chhena Murki and Chhena Poda
Chhena murki is a sweet made from chhena, milk, and sugar. It started in Bhadrak but is now liked in many parts of India. To make chhena murki, milk and sugar are boiled until thick. Then, chhena is soaked in the mixture, and flavourings and spices are added. Chhena poda, which means 'burnt cheese' in Odia, is another sweet from Odisha. It's made of well-kneaded chhena, sugar, cashews, and raisins. After that, it's baked for many hours until it turns brown. Also, the sweet is now being exported all across the world.
Chikki
Chikki is a ready-to-eat solid, brittle sweet usually made by mixing dry nuts with hot jaggery syrup. The most common mixture is peanuts and jaggery. Other nuts like almonds, cashews, and walnuts, as well as sesame seeds and various grains, can also be used. Some varieties of chikki are made from puffed or roasted Bengal gram, puffed rice, beaten rice, and seasonal grains. In some regions, it's also made with Khobara, which is desiccated coconut. Like many Indian sweets, chikki is a high-protein treat. Also, you can find a chikki anywhere in the market.
Jalebi and Imarti
Jalebi and Imarti are made by deep-frying a fermented batter of wheat flour with yogurt, shaping it into circular, coil-like shapes, and then soaking it in sugar syrup. Imarti is a variation of Jalebi, made with a different flour mixture and tighter coils, usually appearing reddish compared to the brown or yellow Jalebi. These Indian sweets are often enjoyed with milk, tea, yogurt, or Lassi. In classical Sanskrit literature, jalebis are referred to as kundalika or jalavallika.
Conclusion
Indian sweets have diverse flavours and histories. Barfi, chikki, and jalebi bring happiness to many. They're enjoyed daily or during celebrations, reflecting cultural richness. We have a richness when it comes to sweets. Not a lot of cultures can claim that. And the best part is we share it with everyone else.
