2: Dudh No Halvo
From the taste and flair of Bengal, we come straight to ‘Garvi Gujarat’ with our second Indian sweet that can be enjoyed best in monsoon.

We stay in Gujarat and move to the north eastern part of the state, Sabarkantha with our third sweet in the list. Thabdi Penda is one of the specialties of Sabarkantha that our customers can relish during the monsoon season.
It is a milk-based fudge that is prepared from khoya, full cream milk and sugar with a view to give delight to your taste buds. Just like Dudh No Halvo, Thabdi Penda is also made in pure ghee that brings out the flavours of the sweet in a perfect way.

Moreover, Thabdi Penda is a flamboyant sweet that can be consumed on special occasions as well along with the monsoon season.
4: Kesar Penda
Another stalwart from our Penda series of sweets is Kesar Penda. Now much has been spoken about the richness of taste and pleasure that kesar or saffron brings to the table. Kesar Penda has all the good qualities of deliciousness that you can associate with saffron. Along with this, the luxurious milk-based fudge has the well-known goodness of almonds as well, making it a must have sweet during the monsoon season.
This traditional sweet is originally from Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, and has khoya and cardamom powder as one of its main ingredients along with saffron and almonds. Kesar Penda is a fine mixture of burst of sweetness and crunchiness as all the dominant ingredients are amalgamated in a proper way.
