Next, it&#8217;s cooked in a sugar syrup, and you&#8217;ll get sweet dumplings that are soft and spongy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to get it:<\/strong> You can find rasgulla tinned up and ready to eat from stores like <a href=\"https:\/\/dashmesh.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Dashmesh<\/a> or even at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairprice.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">FairPrice<\/a>.

It&#8217;s gotta be laddoo. Photography: Nicole Nithiyah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The laddoo (or laddu) is the poster child for Indian sweets. If you&#8217;re going to a wedding or a religious Indian ceremony in Singapore, you know this will be waiting for you. Plump with ghee, flour and sugar, these sweet treats are made from tiny drops of chickpea flour mix. They&#8217;re fried in ghee and soaked in sugar syrup. Sounds easy, but it takes special skill to mould the mixture into those iconic spheres (and you have to do it while it\u2019s hot!). Much respect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to get it:<\/strong> It&#8217;s easy to find variations of this sweet just about anywhere, but our pick is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moghulsweets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Moghul&#8217;s Sweets<\/a>. It&#8217;s known for its signature motichoor laddoos, which will complete your Deepavali spread.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-palkova\"><\/span>7. Palkova<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are only two ingredients in this: milk and sugar. The magic is in the way it\u2019s made. First, the milk simmers till it reaches a paste-like consistency, then sugar is added to the mix. Once it becomes semi-solid, it&#8217;s cooled and ready to be devoured. But really, you don\u2019t have to break your back in the kitchen \u2013 just pop by Little India to get this ivory white treat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to get it<\/strong><strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>You can devour this sweet treat by ordering it at <a href=\"https:\/\/sridairy.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Sri Dairy<\/a>, or find it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lazada.sg\/products\/sri-dairy-srivilliputhur-palkova-sweetened-milk-khoa-pack-of-4-x-100-gm-400-gm-i632320652.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lazada<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_182181\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-182181\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-182181 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/11\/Indian-sweets.jpg\" alt=\"Kesari | Indian Sweets\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/11\/Indian-sweets.jpg 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/11\/Indian-sweets.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/11\/Indian-sweets.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-182181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clockwise: Laddoo, mysore pak, kesari, burfi, patisa soan papdi.

Mysore pak<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fair warning: this isn&#8217;t for the faint-hearted. Hailing from Mysore in the south-western Indian state of Karnataka, this sugary confection only contains sugar, gram flour and slabs of ghee. Consider it an Indian version of fudge: soft, dense and a melt-in-your-mouth kind of fantastic. There\u2019s another version that uses less ghee, but you know what we\u2019d rather pick. As much as we love to indulge in this now and then, it\u2019s best to share unless you want a 24-hour sugar rush.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to get it:<\/strong> You can find these indulgent sweets at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peshwais.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Peshwai&#8217;s<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aabsweets.com.sg\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Adyar Sweets &amp; Snacks<\/a> around Rochor, along with other temptations like chocolate burfis and mothi laddoos.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-gulab-jamun\"><\/span>9.

Burfi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Probably the most refined-looking out of the lot, burfi catches the eye with its pretty silver coating. It\u2019s purely for vanity, though: this edible silver leaf is mainly used for occasions like weddings and has no effect on the taste. Perfectly cut into diamonds, this dense and milky sweet tastes as good as it looks. Plain burfi is usually made of solidified condensed milk and sugar with a hint of cardamom, but you can also find cashew nuts, pistachios, coconut or almond varieties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to get it:<\/strong> Many people rave about <a href=\"https:\/\/bikanervala.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bikanervala<\/a>&#8216;s food for being savoury and authentic.

Photography: Nicole Nithiyah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kesari is said to have originated from many regions south of the subcontinent, so you can bet it&#8217;s popular among South Indians. Perhaps that&#8217;s the reason why it\u2019s still one of our favourites. And don\u2019t you think the bright orange colouring\u2019s super tempting? The semolina is what gives this block of sweet goodness texture, along with staples like sugar, ghee (surprise surprise), water and milk. We like ours with cashew nuts and topped with a sprinkle of saffron.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to get<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>it:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtrsingapore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MTR Singapore<\/a> around Little India serves it with evaporated milk, sugar and spices.

Patisa soan papdi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Light and flaky with sugar strands peeling off at the corners, soan papdi\u2019s texture is as smooth as cotton candy and literally melts in your mouth. It\u2019s so popular that it was sold out at the sweet shop, so we decided to go for the patisa soan papdi, a less flaky version that\u2019s still on par with its sister.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to get it:<\/strong> Boxed soan papdi (both flaky and non-flaky versions) are available online at <a href=\"https:\/\/kiasumart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Kiasumart<\/a>.
