Karwa Chauth sweets bring a festive touch to the sargi thali and also to the celebrations. Whether prepared at home or bought from stores, these sweets are easy to serve, share with family and include in the puja bhog.
Prepared with ground rice, milk, sugar and cardamom, phirni has a thick, creamy consistency. Served chilled in small earthen bowls, it is often included in the sargi thali.
This diamond-shaped sweet is loved for its smooth texture and light nutty taste. Kaju katli is easy to portion, making it a favoured choice during festivities and sharing with family and guests.
Soft, syrup-soaked gulab jamuns add richness to the Karwa Chauth sweet platter. Their warm cardamom taste and melt-in-the-mouth texture make them a favourite choice for celebrations.
Made with roasted gram flour, ghee, sugar and cardamom, besan ladoos have a rich, nutty fragrance. Their firm, round shape also makes them easy to include in sargi thalis or gifting boxes.
Meethi mathri is a crisp, flaky snack with a gentle sweetness and is often flavoured with cardamom. Its long shelf life makes it ideal to make ahead and use for puja bhog during Karwa Chauth celebrations.
