Have you ever stolen Narus, Rosogollas, or Laddoos from your kitchen or ever experienced midnight cravings for something sweet? If you haven’t, then you cannot feel the love and affection of Indians for desserts. But if you’ve done these sweet little things, then this article is especially for you. We Indians are both chefs and foodies when it comes to food, and desserts are no exception. The city, rather the country, is a land of festive galore. Here, everyone, irrespective of their caste, creed, community, or religion, celebrates anything and everything by sharing and gorging on sweets. With so many festivals coming up, it is high time to plan your festive desserts ahead of time to set the mood for the upcoming Diwali. Diwali or Deepavali, which is already knocking at the door, just cannot be coined as the festival of lights unless your mouth is stuffed with loads of delicious mishti or mithai. We start the celebration way before the actual date with a dishful of sweets and snacks. From the moist Gulab jamuns, Rabri-Jalebis, sinful Rosomalai, and showstopper Rosogollas to experimental fusions of traditional and continental confections, the stage is all set for you to embrace the festive spirit of the forthcoming Diwali.
With each passing generation, the tradition of making sweets and desserts with mom and grandma at home has dissipated, but the norm of sharing sweets and happiness remains the same. Though Kolkatans are incredibly proud of the sweets of Bengal, Bengali desserts have wooed Indians and foreigners alike since time immemorial. Foodies are believed to be experimental with their taste buds, and we Bongs are always welcoming towards new food, style, and culture. So after having a full plate of Rosogolla, Ledikini, Sondesh, and Mishti Doi, to satisfy your sweet-tooth and hungry souls, we have compiled a list of places with their tremendous tasty desserts from where you can score your thing and drool along accordingly in this Diwali.
