Why are Indian Sweets so central to an Indian wedding?

Indian sweets are literally the food of the gods. Traditionally called mithai, they contain sugar, milk and ghee, all pure ingredients which are historically offered to the gods and temple worshippers.

Mithai has a long association with celebratory events and thanksgiving hence the connection with Indian weddings.

There are literally hundreds of different types of Indian sweets to choose from all representing different regions of the country. Enjoy decorative sharing platters or individual sweets oozing with flavour, a real visual feast for your guests to enjoy.

It’s very hard to narrow down a shortlist but here are some of the most enduringly popular Indian sweets.

• Gulab Jamun – truly irresistible, gulab jamun are petite soft dough balls dipped in a sweet and gooey syrup, totally mouthwatering with a very appealing appearance on the table
• Shrikhand (mix fruit) – made from strained yoghurt and usually mixed with crushed pistachios and cardamon. Shrikhand is often served alongside puris which are puffed, deep-fried whole wheat bread rounds
• Ras Malai – Ras malai is a plain sponge that is then drenched in a scented and nutty milk mixture that can be flavoured with all sorts of things including cardamon, saffron, almonds and pistachios
