Understanding Mithai: What Are These Traditional Indian Sweets?

by Dhairya Shah 02 Dec 2024

India is a land of vibrant culture and ancient traditions. This rich culture has an array of traditional Indian mithai sweets. Each bite offers unique flavours and textures from Indian traditions backed by interesting history. 

History of Indian Sweets

Indian sweets have a long history. Dating back to 500 BC, when people learned how to make sugar from sugarcane and other plants, they often included it into their diet to have a sweet ending to their meal. They used sugar-based foods in temple offerings and gave them to people who visited the temple, and that’s how the concept of prasad evolved. Indian mithais are not only sweets; they are an emotion, and each mithai has an evolving story, from simple pedas to fusion mithais like Gulaab Rocher and Biscoff Dryfruit.

Mewaz takes pride in using these time-tested recipes, which have been passed down through generations. Our mithai makers are artisans, meticulously crafting each sweet with the finest natural ingredients.
