…) which she never got tired of! On second thoughts, I now realize that the mithai and candy she loved so much was never prepared at home! They were always store bought ones. I did get an opportunity to observe the process of mithai making in open kitchens set up during weddings and pujas and made them but not the Agra Petha. A few years ago, I made her favorite Agra Petha and clicked the photos and then it just remained in the drafts as I fell ser…

I remember watching so many of my friends & neighbours over the years making different types of ladoos… each one having their own unique procedure for it. Some of the people I know would be making several dozens &…

The sugar & the pure ghee which plays an integral role in the Indian mithai is replaced with substitutes & hence it may not even have the original traditional taste.

…devotion. One has to buy from the mithai shops who display their assorted mithais and it is so difficult to select as the choice is vast. Each mithai is jostling for attention on their display counter. We had so many banana plantations and could use fresh banana leaves whenever we needed them. Now, I have to buy them and these are only available in the mandis and big vegetable markets. It is such a pleasure to prepare this traditional sweet… love…

Quick mawa making in a microwave with milk, ghee and milk powder is also very popular. Since we get it easily, I always use store bought mawa for my mawa cake and Indian sweets / mithai. Maybe someday I may make my own mawa just for the thrill of it! 🙂 I have posted a recipe for…
