When we say “sweets” the usual ones that appear before our eyes are gulab jamun, rosogolla, peda and so on. Because Bengalis eat, breathe and sleep sweets it shouldn't come as a surprise wasn't that I waited with bated breath when Taste Atlas recently revealed the top three Indian Street food sweets in the world. But I soon realized it says, “Indian Street Food Sweets” and when it comes to that, the ones that secured the spot are the ones which have rightfully been selected by the food-based magazine - Taste Atlas!
What is Taste Atlas?
It is a food-based magazine that not only provides information and detailed reviews on street foods across the world but also shares their recipes!
The Street Food Sweets That Made to the List
Mysore Pak: The Irresistible Delicacy from Karnataka
At number 14 is Mysore Pak, this ghee-ladened sweet was invented by the royal chef Mandappa of Mysore Palace in 1935. A perfect example of an experiment gone terribly right (couldn’t help but use this oxymoron)!! A combination of gram flour, ghee butter, and sugar into a syrup which melts in the mouth is known as the king of sweets in South India. Best Mysore Pak in India is obviously found in Mysore but also in Bengaluru with its delightful variations.
Kulfi: India's Rich and Creamy Frozen Delight
Number 18 has been secured by Kulfi, a less airy and denser Indian version of a regular ice-cream that is prepared with slowly simmering whole milk. As the milk reduces in volume and becomes creamy classic ingredients are added to enhance the flavour. The usual ingredients of authentic Kulfi are pistachio, rose water and saffron which gives it the traditional flavour of a classic kulfi. Sometimes served in clay pots, Kulfi is sold at every corner of Mumbai and is one of the street desserts loved by all and a must-have after any meal.
Kulfi Falooda: A Fusion of Flavors in a Dessert Dream
At number 32 sits Kulfi Falooda, a wholesome Indianized version of a sundae topped with layers of syrup, nuts, berries, dry basil seeds and falooda sev. Although there are numerous Kulfi Falooda variations sold, they don’t appeal to my taste buds but are a hit among a lot of people who flock the famous Kulfi Falooda vendors in the city of Mumbai. This dessert is filling enough for you to miss your lunch or dinner! And the best ones you will find in Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai.
Having tried all the three, my vote goes to the simple kulfi falooda with its usual elements.
