भारतीय मिठाइयाँ

Indian sweets include milk, nut, flour and syrup specialities, offered in boxes for sharing or enjoying in small portions. Ladoo, barfi, gulab jamun and rasgulla are common when guests visit, during festivities or as the end of a meal. Each has a different texture, from creamy and firm to soft and syrupy. Most are best enjoyed in small, shared portions, so an assorted box is a practical way to learn about different styles. Choose the format according to the number of guests and the occasion.

Serve them at room temperature to appreciate their aroma and texture, unless the pack says to keep them chilled. Gulab jamun works well with a scoop of ice cream, while barfi and ladoo are placed on a tray with tea. Try several types before settling on a favourite.

Always check the maker’s storage guidance and keep boxes away from heat. Indian Flavours sends Indian sweets from Barcelona for celebrations across Spain and Portugal.
