The Most Popular Sweets During Dussehra…

Any festival in India is incomplete without bonding over food. On Dussehra this year, people across India marked the festival by binging on sweets. After nine days of fasting during Navratri, taste buds also deserve a treat, right? A quick survey showed that these were the most popular mithai:

Jalebi

One of the most special traditions of Dussehra is eating jalebis. It is deeply rooted in our culture. Also, it is believed that Lord Rama loved eating jalebis.

Jalebi-Fafda

Have you ever tried eating jalebi with fafda? If not, then you must try this combination. The combination of the savory fafda and the sweet jalebi is a match made in heaven and hands down a favorite in Gujarat.

Ladoo

Ladoo is one of the evergreen Indian sweets that is loved by one and all. Those who didn’t turn, at this time to the traditional jalebi, indulged in the ladoo and the spectrum of flavors in this wide… from boondi and coconut in the south to the badam and moti choor in the north.  

Obbattu

In Karnataka, many people marked Dussehra by eating obbattu which is a stuffed sweetbread made with lentils, coconut and jaggery. It is known as poli and puran poli in other parts of India. (ANI)
