khoya jalebis (thin crispy style)

dhoda 

gajrela (with khoya on top and dried fruits mixed)

milk cake ( this is like one of the best barfies out there if not the best along with dhoda for me)

love freshly made bhog/ suji halua

winter time, used to love pinnis (khoya again the preferred variety)

Dharwad is famous for pedha.... (Flour based)
petha is north Indian made of lauki/pumpkin as the base

Petha is nothing but a block of sugar. It is so sweet, if eaten regularly, even the healthiest person will get diabetes within a week. We had it in Agra, there is little bit of flavor, but all sweet and nothing else.

Kaju Barfi

Payasam/Kheer (both south and North Indian styles)

Son Papdi (both South Indian and North Indian Style)

Jalebi

Mysore Pak

Ras Malai

Rasgulla  :giggle: 

Gulab Jamun (served hot)

Gajar ka Halwa

On 2nd thoughts I will go with the sweets I don’t like. I believe that is easier 

 

Not a fan of

 

Halwa

Petha

Bobattu/ Pooran Poli

Some laddoos (love the Tirupathi and Motichoor ones)

So I am trying to figure our if this mithai is sold anywhere in India with another name?I see i5 in all the stores in india and most of my friends who are from different parts od India are not able to recognize this. I even googled and its hard to find and looks like its being only sold in USA in Indian stores here.

 

They call it cutras. It looks like Bengali sweet but not sure how come its not sold in India. It has gulab jamun touch in it. There must be this mithai in India with some other nams?

I have heard this from a lot of ABCDs and firangis that Indian sweets are too sweet. I believe chocolate,doughnuts all have a more bitter feel to them. Don’t get the logic though. What the fk is too sweet?

Too sweet as in the sweetness is imposed on you instead of being mild.
