I'm not entirely sure if this is on topic or what? Anyway, has anyone tried any of the hundreds of Indian sweets? I don't mean ordinary BIR desserts like gulab jamun, I mean ones like these: http://www.gulabrewri.com/index.htm
Can anyone recommend which ones to try as I've never had any. Any book recommendations for making your own?

Hi,
We once had some real indian ice cream,
it came with a little ball of bubble gum at the
bottom of the indian plastic cup.
Still I found it funny :)

Hi graeme
Are you taking the p*** :o ;D
You've just described something I used to buy from the Tonibell ice-cream van when I was a kid. It was a small plastic cone with a ball of bubblegum at the bottom and lovely soft ice cream. Ah, it brings back memories. I'm blowed if I can remember what it was called though!

And of course if this thread wasn't off topic to start with, it definitely is now. ;)

No not taking the pee but i think
the rest was.
we had a good night anyway and found
it very very funny, to be fair i dont know if they
made it them selves or bought it in, so
it could have been real indian ice cream
what ever that is, does it exsist ??
The bubble gum...some one should tell them Eh,
very funny all the same and a great night.
Regards Graeme.

Hi YF, yes I have tried those biscuit things and have to say I am not keen on them, but I love Gulabs in all their forms and the cube and triangular sweets that are pink and green, taste of cheese and coconut. They are mostly made from a basic approach and basic ingredients; Besan flour, soft paneer, sugar, and powdered milk (and colourings ::) :o) Jelabis can be made on a tawa, I have some recipes from some of my books if you want. You can use the packet mixes as these are quite good.
