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, Ganesh Chaturthi, 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, besan ke ladoo, kaju
katli and gulab jamuns, 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 gulab jamun 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.
Gulab jamun is the favorite of most of the people. Baked Gulab jamun
are equally delicious as normal gulab jamun. 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 gulab jamun
are baked these are to be removed from the tin and to be placed in the
syrup. Maybe the shape of the Gulab jamun 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 DO1. Glasses or cupcake wrappers should be used to present mithai in if
you want to keep the serving size small.
2. Decorate the glasses with fresh fruits and use different styles of cup
cakes that comes in variety of colors.
3. If the sweet dish is to be gifted then it is to be wrapped in boxes and
jars.
4. 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.
5. Tying beautiful big bows which will make it super special gift with
a personal message.
TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND1. The presentation of Mithai should be kept Simple and deliciousness
will be more appreciated than confusion with the lots of varieties.
2. 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.
3. Dried fruits and nuts should always be present in the pantry for
emergencies through which you can beat up something delicious at
the moment.
