Check with seller 8 Mouth-Watering South Indian Sweets

It’s hard to imagine festivals without our traditional sweets. But, it’s not just those special occasions when we crave for them. South Indian sweets, with their exquisite taste and irresistible flavour, are treats that you want to enjoy anytime.
While some South Indian sweets such as Kesari and Mysore Pak have found wider recognition across the subcontinent, there are many hidden gems in the cuisine of South India. In this article, we’ll cover eight sweet delicacies — both, famous and relatively unknown — that will delight your taste buds.
1. Payasam
The word payasam comes from the word ‘peeyusham’, meaning divine nectar or ambrosia. This fine concoction of coconut milk and jaggery tastes delectably creamy and sweetened to perfection!
It is no surprise that payasam is a permanent component of the typical South Indian thali, and also finds its place during festivals and occasions. If you’re planning to make payasam at home, you can add a touch of creativity to this exquisite dish by adding carrots, or fruits such as mango or pineapple topped by chopped dry fruits and nuts.
2. Mysore Pak
One of the most popular South-Indian sweets Mysore Pak was invented by accident by a cook belonging to a royal family in Mysore. It is unanimously known as the king of South Indian sweets. This lip-smacking speciality is made from milk powder, pure ghee (clarified butter), and sugar. The irresistible taste of Mysore Pak will leave an everlasting mark on your palette.

Though if you’re watching your weight or concerned about health issues, our Karupatti Ghee Mysore Pak and Mysurpa made from Nattu Sakkarai, figs and dates are treats you can enjoy guilt-free!
3. Maladu
This is a South Indian delicacy rich in protein originated in Tirunelveli. Popularly known as Ma ladoo, this sweet, nutritious, and scrumptious treat is made from dal (lentils). If you want to make something delicious and healthy at home, maladu is the perfect option for you and it takes barely 15 minutes to prepare.
Our Karupatti halwa is another awesome sweet from Tirunelveli that you must try.
4. Adhirasam

This age-old popular sweet is generally served at festivals, weddings, and special occasions. Made from rice flour, cardamom, and jaggery, the roots of Adhirasam lie in Tamil Nadu. According to the ancient recipe, it takes one whole week to prepare and make it. Sadly, it’s difficult to find authentic adhirasam nowadays as most of the makers use modern methods and machines to cut short the preparation time. However, if you’re lucky you may find shops in Tamil Nadu selling traditional adhirasam.
5. Poli
A Pongal must-have, this easy-to-make nutritious treat is loved by one and all. Made with grated coconut, wheat flour, jaggery, pure ghee (clarified butter), turmeric powder, and cardamom this soft and sweet bread is a must if you have a sweet tooth.
6. Cashew Barfi or Kaju Katli
This diamond-shaped sweet has a rich taste of cashews and a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Often punctuated with flavours such as cardamom or rose, this specialty isn’t just made in South India but is a staple sweet all over the country. For a true-blue Southern twist, however, try our Karupatti Kaju Katli.
7. Badusha
Similar to its cousin, the balushahi, badusha, the irresistible donut-shaped delight is popularly known as a Diwali sweet. Another variant the smaller Chitti badushas are also served during festive occasions. These deep-fried and syrup-dipped treats are perfect when you wish to indulge your sweet tooth.
8. Seenimittai
Traditionally from Tuticorin seenimittai is made from rice flour, urad dal, and cardamom for fragrance. Once deep-fried, they are dunked in sugar syrup which crystallizes and forms sweet and crispy yummy curls of sweetness.
