Thread: Best Sweets or what you like

Please post the sweets that you like most. I go weak in my motives on dieting when I see Bengali sweets. Chamcham is one my favourites - so is Ras Malai, Angoor Malai, Rosogulla, etc..

And hot Gajar Halwa with Ice-Cream is also irresistable.

aaah really mouth watering mine are

Why "Milk Khova from TN"? Milk Khova is the same everywhere. It is not any region speciality.

I like Soan Papadi, Jileebi, and most other sweet sweets.

It is a little different. There is the semi solid ones that
are in definite shapes like square, diamond etc.

what I am talking about is sort of amorphous mass of
milk khova.

This is what I am talking about - Aavin Milk Khoa.

wow....whr do thy make banana halwa....i m all surprised to hear ....

This is probably the best sweet in the whole universe.

I think my mom learnt this when we were in Mangalore
for some time.

It is a very labor intensive process to make this. The recipe
goes something like this.

3 or 4 very ripe bananas (Nenthram Pazham is the specific type of banana)
a cup of sugar
a cup of ghee.

Just put the bananas in a thick heavy pan and mash them.
add the sugar and ghee and keep stirring till it becomes
almost black, probably for 3-4 hours.

thats sounds interesting, how is it made?

anybody who had the chance to taste the traditional sweets of bengal like mohan-bhog, pithey (so many varieties), chandrapuli, rosokadamba, payodhi etc. would know why bengal is the best place for sweets

I too love all bengali sweets - cham cham, champa kali, rasogulla etc., etc.

Among the South Indian sweets, I like:

1. Dharwad pedha
2. Belgaum kunda
3. karadantu (dry fruit ball containing Cashew, Almond, dates, dry grapes)
4. hesaru bele payasa (toor dal kheer)

Hmm, writing about these is mouth watering stuff. Can't wait to eat them. :wub:

i would love to go to Kolkotta itself to try their rosgulla, as I've heard their out of this world there!

yea u shud try it...!!! i remmeber when i was flying back from kolkatta to ahmedabad....one shud seee man....ppl with those mud matkis filled with ras gullas....!!!

we too got one of it n it was like yummm....!!!!

today in morning i have eaten so many rosogolla in breakfast But one thing any time you have come kolkata but you have to choice the right area or shop because WB so many shop of sweets every one is not so good.
