🍬 Diwali Sweets (Mithai)

During Diwali, Indian households prepare and exchange elaborate trays of traditional sweets known as mithai, including gulab jamun, ladoo, barfi, and kaju katli. Gifting mithai to neighbours, colleagues, and relatives is an expression of goodwill and the spreading of sweetness on the Festival of Lights. Many families spend days preparing these sweets from scratch, and sweet shops see their peak sales of the year.
