Our festivals are incomplete without sweets. You all might be agree with me that no other country inherit such a large variety of traditional sweets as we have been blessed with, here in India. Having a rich cultural heritage, no celebration, festival or wedding is completed without this sweet gesture. And if I don’t exaggerate, each and every festival or occasion has its own significance and the particular sweets are prepared for the same. Most of our sweets are milk based and prepared with khoya or mava. The sweet shops are flooded with numberless varieties,but home-made sweets give you a satisfaction and joy that is unmatched
