Festivities are rolling in! With that, it's obvious that you're going to indulge in mithai. Whether you're looking to bite into a sweet you love or want to send a dabba to your loved ones living away, several Indian mithai brands are now online.
From iconic sweet shops in Mohali to the new-age ones like the Bombay Sweet Shop, several mithai brands are delivering pan-India. So you can relish or send across your favourite mithai.
The iconic mithai and namkeen brand does Bikaner-style of farsan, and is well-known for its sweets. Haldiram's has set up a website for online orders for a long, long time and delivers pan-India with free shipping for orders over INR 500. Although, their variety does seem limited compared to their stores. You can shop for tinned sweets which include gulab jamuns, rasgullas; or packed sweets like soan papdi and kaju katli, or some specialities all made out of kaju like kaju rolls, kaju anjeer, and paan mithai.

There's a special place in our heart for NOTO, because of the simple fact that this brand made binging on an entire tub of ice-cream in a go a guilt-free experience. What only makes them even bigger angels in our eyes is that they've also come up with "healthy" mithai that actually taste great (yes, those can coexist). They deliver all over India, and their collection has classics like Rasgulla, Gulab Jamun, Motichoor Laddoo, Malai Peda, and even God's favourite - Milk Cake. We tried the Gulab Jamun and Laddoo, and while it may not taste bang on like the more sinful options available everywhere locally, we would let go of that since it comes with no added sugars.
Delhi's Gurchini shot to fame with the Italian pista and gold varq laddu, priced at Rs 1,000 per piece, which they created for the Akash Ambani-Shloka Mehta wedding. While you obviously don't have to opt for something that exorbitant, Gurchini's healthy mithai, made from stevia, honey, dates, and jaggery hits the right spots. You can choose from their boxes or make your own, their variety includes an assortment of ghewar, Nolen Gur Alwar Milk Cake made in woodfire oven, Kala Chana Dry Fruit & Gir Cow Ghee Burfi, among others.
Price: Starts at INR 800

Free of preservatives and artificial colours, Misht creates mithai that's made with natural ingredients. The best bit? Misht is great for shipping because their gift boxes are well-portioned and packaged (think a pack of 5 and packs of 8), and separated in pods that make it easier to gift. Choose from their milk cakes, pedas, and assorted sweet boxes. You can store Misht's mithai for 45 days without refrigeration and still consume them.
Price: Stars at INR 375

Their signature liquor laddoos are a hit, and their assortment of ghewar is extraordinary. You'll find Chocolate Hazelnut Ghewar, Rose & Pista, Kesar & Cranberry, among other flavours. If ghewar isn't what you want, grab their Cheesecake Barfi, Champagne Laddoos, Rasmalai Peda, and other innovative items they update on their Instagram page.
