What is your favorite Indian mithai?

Strictly Indian ones, please don't bring in French or Brazilian specialties. IMO the best part of Indian cuisine is our range of sweets. 

 

I love (not a ranking):

 

1. Bhapa Sandesh

There is this famous Bangladeshi sweet shop in Toronto and OH MY GOD, I have missed so much in my life. No North Indian, no South Indian sweets come close to these Bongs (sorry) mithai. They know their $hit when it comes to mithai. Man those mithais are something else. It’s been three years and i am hooked to these Bong mithais.

Being a Bengali, I love Bengali sweets. But the ones dishes out by Haldiram’s...

:embarrassed:

But I love Motichur Laddus... & Imartis... Maybe because I’m born and brought up in MP...

 

As a combo I love Khoya/Mawa/Plain Jalebis with Rabri...

Also a combo of Warm Gulab Jamuns with Custard and a dollop of Vanilla Ice Cream does it for me...
