1. I'm not too fond of sweet stuff. There's an exception however. I
can eat loads of them, when I'm back in India. Don't ask me the actual
recent why. But I believe it has something to do with authenticity.
Fresh milk, pure ghee and the Indian spices. And the end product is some
mouth watering world renowned Indian sweet.
2. I've had 20 mini jelebis in one go - while in Jaipur. It was a street stall recommended by our driver. Yes, 20. And I wish I had had more.
3. I've also had like half a box of fruit Halwa from Adyar Ananda Bhawan Chennai. And, do so, very time I set foot in my favourite metropolitan Chennai.
4. And, the revered Tirupathi Ladoo. I eat both. NRI entrances comes with two ladoos per ticket. They are divine. Oval shaped but so immensely tasty.
5. During my recent vacation to Hyderabad, I fell crazily in love with another Indian sweet, synonym to the any wedding there. The Double Ki Metta. A sweet bread pudding with almond, pistachios, cashew nuts and raisins scattered on top.
6. Doubles Ki Metta must be accompanied by the Irani Chai - which is a drink made from tea. Originating from Iran, it's justified to the local buds and ya, tastes heavenly.
7. Today, I made them, here at home. Reminiscing the days I had in Hyderabad.
Found the simplest recipe on Pinterest and followed suit.
8. This is the outcome. We had it after lunch and it disappeared from the dining table very quickly. My family consumes very little sugar too, so I adjusted the sweetness. And had more nuts added into the recipe.
