The great Indian milksweet thread.
Notice how some Indians , specially those getting on in years, are slightly overweight and have you wondered why? it's because you haven't discovered indian milksweets yet
This thread is to post your favourite indian milksweets, post brand names if you can remember ...It's not a vote, because as sweets eaters know we have room for 'em ALL (and seconds).... Shrikand (Amul) Paal Khoa Rasagolla (das & co, calcutta), ras malaai Tirunalveli halwa(the pumpkin variety) I also found this thread...every thing that CAN be discusses has ALREADY been., it seems.... |

Excellent!

one of my favorites is kesari - drool!
another good one, but i don't know its name - when i was in b'lore i had this milky stuff with some type of tiny thread-like noodle in it. it was kind of soupy, but just the right amount of sweetness. i would trade my chocolate obsession for indian milk sweets ANY DAY!! oh, oh i also love those cheese balls soaked in butter, syrup, fried, then soaked in butter again, then syrup again, and then probably fried again (more butter and syrup). i don't know many of the names.... "fat julie" would be my name if i stayed in india too long - would be mighty scary!!! julie  |

I like practically all sweets. But I would like a Kulfi after every meal. The best Kulfi (I heard, not tasted.... will def. taste/eat) is purported to be made in Indore.
Just yesterday showed freemanx the pleasures of Kulfi melting slowly in your mouth.

Slightly over burnt Gulab Jamun is my favourite. ( thats the cheese ball described by "slim" Julie)
Then comes pedha's and those yum yum begali sweets. Agra pedha.... Ladoo, Jilebi, ....... Kheer or Payasam as it is called in southern states.
