Get ready to drool as we dive deep into India’s incredible world of sweets (mithai) — from temple prasads to Instagram-worthy experiments! Join Kunal Vijayakar and Shubhra Chatterjee (culinary researcher & filmmaker) as they unwrap the origins, flavors, and wild innovations of Indian desserts.

Ever tried Pyaz ki Kheer or Mutton ka Halwa?
Did you know a sweet was once served to confuse a groom?
From banana polis to lasoon ki kheer, explore how local ingredients and cultures shape sweets across India.

We travel from Puri’s legendary temple prasad to the streets of Surat, with stories of milk, honey, tradition, and… unexpected ingredients.

This episode is a nostalgic, quirky, and surprising ride through mithai — food that can make you swoon with joy or squirm in confusion.

Don’t miss it! Hit play and treat yourself.
