Growing up between two cultures means navigating two different dessert tables—and let's be honest, the Indian one hits different. In this episode, we're unpacking the world of Indian sweets, or mithai as it's known in many parts of India, and why they hold such a special place in ABCD culture.

Join us as we explore the classics you grew up with at every family function (yes, we're talking about that omnipresent gulab jamun) and a few specialties you might've missed.
