SWEET DELIGHTS FOR JOY
In India its a trend to prepare sweets very often. For every ocassion, Sweets are symbolic of joy and to celebrate the joy we make sweets and enjoy the joy by eating sweets and sharing sweets with family and friends .
There are variety of home made sweets right from dry, wet, solid and liquid form of sweet. Sweets come in various colours, shapes, designs, textures, fragrances and presenatations. You have millions of sweet recipes based on combinations of Rice, Dal, jaggery, Semolina, sugar, ghee, various grain flours, miik based products, Dry fruits and nuts, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, pineapple, Ash gourd, saffron, some spices coconut and many more. To name a few I have mentioned commonly used items.
Trust me there are special sweets particularly made for certain occasions. Example weddings, festivals, house warming, naming ceremony, ear peircing ceremony.
There is a ceremony Shraadha done for people who are no more. In this ceremony the dishes and sweets are different but the taste is unique from the normal.
Well, sweets are dominated in the begining as well as at the end of the meal. Sweets are mouth watering stuff. Anything you eat must be in limit or you tend to become DIABETIC or OBESE.

Prevention is better than cure, and always remember before you eat anything : HEALTH IS WEALTH.
