No Indian meal feels complete without something sweet to end it. From festive celebrations to a quiet evening indulgence, Indian desserts — or mithai — carry emotion, nostalgia, and comfort in every bite.

If you’ve recently moved to Germany and miss the taste of Gulab Jamun, Rasgulla, or Soan Papdi, you’re not alone. The craving for authentic Indian sweets is universal among the diaspora. But here’s the good news — you can now enjoy your favourite mithai right at home, thanks to Anant Supermarkt’s wide collection of ready-to-eat Indian desserts available for delivery across Germany.

Let’s explore some of the most-loved sweets that are part of every Indian’s memory and how you can order them with ease.

1. Gulab Jamun – The Timeless Favorite

Soft, round, syrup-soaked perfection — Gulab Jamun is perhaps India’s most iconic dessert. Whether served warm or cold, this classic sweet melts instantly in your mouth with its rich, caramelized texture.

2. Rasgulla – Bengal’s Soft Delight

If Gulab Jamun is rich and caramelized, Rasgulla is light, spongy, and refreshingly sweet. Originating from Bengal, this dessert is made from soft chhena (Indian cottage cheese) balls soaked in sugar syrup — a delicate balance of texture and taste.

Why Indian Desserts Are So Special

Indian sweets are not just desserts — they’re memories in flavor.
Every sweet tells a story of celebration, family, and heritage. From the silver-coated Kaju Katli during Diwali to the syrup-dripping Rasgulla on birthdays, these sweets are woven into every emotion of Indian life.

Even abroad, these little boxes of mithai remind us of home — of festivals, guests, and kitchen aromas. And that’s why, when you find these authentic sweets in Germany, it’s more than a grocery purchase — it’s reconnecting with a familiar warmth.

Why It’s Important to Choose Authentic Brands

In Germany, you might come across sweets labeled “Indian-style,” but very few truly capture the traditional recipes.

That’s why Anant Supermarkt stocks original Indian brands like:

• Haldiram’s – known worldwide for consistent taste and authentic recipes.

• Bikano – famous for its freshness and Delhi-style traditional sweets.

• A2B (Adyar Ananda Bhavan) – renowned for authentic South Indian sweets (like Mysore Pak and Dry Mixtures).

These brands follow traditional Indian preparation techniques and quality standards — ensuring that every bite feels just like the mithai from back home.

Shelf Life & Storage Tips

One major advantage of Anant’s collection of Indian sweets is their long shelf life. Most come in sealed tins or vacuum packs, retaining freshness for months without refrigeration.

Storage Tips:

• Store tins and boxes in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

• Once opened, transfer sweets to airtight containers to preserve texture.

• Refrigerate syrup-based sweets like Gulab Jamun or Rasgulla after opening, and consume within 3–5 days.

• Avoid freezing sweets like Soan Papdi or Petha — it affects their texture.

With these steps, your favorite mithai can stay fresh long after it’s been opened.
