    Indian Sweets and Desserts

    I’ve gathered my favorite Indian sweets and desserts here, the ones I turn to for festivals, family get-togethers, or just when I want to treat myself.

    From traditional Indian mithai, like Gajar Ka Halwa, Patoli, or Rava Ladoo, that carry the warmth of home, to quick modern desserts like Chocolate Mug Cake that you can make in minutes, each recipe is simple to follow and full of flavor. Whether it’s for Diwali, Holi, Eid, or Ganesh Chaturthi, these Indian desserts are made to bring smiles (and second servings!).
