The whole world knows about the diversity of India and its presence in almost everything, whether it is in geographical regions, languages etc. So how can the food category be left behind?

Lets have a look at ten famous Indian sweets and where do they come from, Not necessarily in the order.

Who doesnt know about this sweet? Made from suji and cottage cheese, these soft, milky, round and white syrupy sweets are best when consumed chilled.

The city of Mysore is famous for these. Made with gram flour, lots of ghee and sugar, it just melts in our mouth with a delicious taste.
