Whenever you think of the word Indian sweets then it makes you think about fat-laden, calorie-rich, extra-sweet foods. In the seasons of festivals try to make modern version of sweet dish which reclaim tradition and does not ruin your health.Indian calendar is full of festivals like janmashtami, GaneshChaturthi, Eid, Dusherra, Diwali. And festivals are the great opportunity when all of our family and friends come together and have an enjoyment. Shopping celebrations and camaraderie is one part of celebrations but another part that adds a festive mood to these festivals is delicious, pretty laid out festive food. Our Indian chefs are trying their best to spread the Indian festive mood to every corner of the world by coming up with new forms of sweetdishes. We all have tasted all mithais like jalebis, besankeladoo, kajukatli and gulabjamuns, though some of the people who live out of Indian might not have tasted these sweet dishes but on their visit to India they must try out these sweet dish recipes.
Some of the sweets like gulabjamun are served as sweet dish after dinner and lunch. The taste of sweets in India spells delight and helps in remembering our old days of childhood when we used to get crazy by just hearing the word mithai (Indian Sweets). What’s tricky is there in Indian Mithais that our mouth waters every time we listen to the word Mithai. Taking into account our health considerations along with the taste some people will avoid eating these sweet dishes. But we have to work out on these considerations so that the people who are avoiding these sweet dishes have a chance to taste these sweet dishes. Chefs of Indian origin have tried their best to fuse some of the sweet dish recipes with Indian and modern ingredients which are low on calorie meter. Some of the new versions of the mithais (Indian Sweets) are as follows:
Basic barfi is to be made by spreading a layer in a deep, square dish. The top is to be made with a thin layer of salted caramel but be sure that caramel is cooked properly and is not hard and a thin layer of dark chocolate is to be spreaded on the top. The barfi is to be cut down and now it is ready to serve. Test out for different version of the barfi by adding some cocoa to the almond barfi mixture along with some pieces of dried cherry on the top of the finished pieces. More chocolate can be added for delicious “black forest barfi.”
You might have been irritated while making a ladoo into ball. Crunchy peanut butter can be added to praise the nutty flavor of the roasted besan. The mixture is to be spread in a thick layer on the greased tray and is to be cut down into small squares or diamond shapes on cooling. If you found that little melted chocolate can be drizzled out then wait for sometime so that it can set properly.
This is one of the great dessert like a blank sheet and you can be as creative as much you can with the flavor. Try out the normal rasmalai with the new flavors such as real vanilla seeds and rose water and just delicate, subtle the flavors that are sweet in themselves allow cutting back down the sugar. Now the rasmalai is to be served with bright, bold strawberry compote, for small amount of flavor and color.
It must be hard when you treat yourself with deep fried, sugar-soaked mithai but it will be more hard to say no this mithai. Funnel cake is the less guilty and much lighter version of the jalebi. The basic egg free pancake is to be made and some saffron and cardamom is to be added. This is to be fried in same way as the jalebi is fried so there is no need of waiting for getting it ferment just go straight way in the funnel or piping bag and make the rings in the hot oil. After cooking transfer it to kitchen paper so that the oil can be drained and is to be placed on the plate and little sugar is to be sprinkled. Serve with fresh berries.
Gulabjamun is the favorite of most of the people. Baked Gulabjamun are equally delicious as normal gulabjamun. The dough is to be made and is to divided into equal portions and pressed into greased cupcake tin. The cupcake is to be baked for 20 minutes at 180 degree Celsius and till time the cake is baked make the syrup. Once the gulabjamun are baked these are to be removed from the tin and to be placed in the syrup. Maybe the shape of the Gulabjamun will be different from the regular shape but their taste is great.

This recipe is one of the healthiest and it is quick and easy recipe to prepare. Different types of nuts can be used (as much as you can) but don’t forget to dry roast them before using to get the best flavor. Chikki can be made quite brittle so that it can be spread thinly before breaking it into large, odd sized pieces. Now it can be served with a balanced on the top of the scoop of the ice cream which is surrounded by steamed dried fruits.
MUST DO Glasses or cupcake wrappers should be used to present mithai in if you want to keep the serving size small. Decorate the glasses with fresh fruits and use different styles of cup cakes that comes in variety of colors. If the sweet dish is to be gifted then it is to be wrapped in boxes and jars. While selecting the packaging paper make sure that it does not leave stains on it and paper should be food grade so any dyes or colors should not be transferred into the mithai. Tying beautiful big bows which will make it super special gift with a personal message.
TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND The presentation of Mithai should be kept Simple and deliciousness will be more appreciated than confusion with the lots of varieties. Some of the mithais are prepared days before so that time can be utilized for your advantages so that there is no rush on the last minute. Dried fruits and nuts should always be present in the pantry for emergencies through which you can beat up something delicious at the moment.
