What is barfi and what does it taste like?
Barfi (also spelled burfi) is a dense, fudge-like Indian sweet made from condensed milk solids (khoya), sugar, and flavourings. It comes in many varieties — plain (milk barfi), pistachio (pista barfi), cashew (kaju katli), and more. The texture is smooth and firm, and the flavour is rich, milky, and sweet with the aroma of cardamom or saffron.
What is the difference between ladoo and barfi?
Ladoo are round, ball-shaped Indian sweets made from various bases including besan (gram flour), coconut, boondi, or motichoor. They tend to be lighter and crumblier than barfi. Barfi is pressed into a square or diamond shape and has a denser, fudge-like texture. Both are popular across India and available fresh at Velspices.
Do you deliver fresh mithai outside Melbourne?
Yes! Velspices ships fresh Indian sweets across all of Australia. Orders over $50 receive free delivery in Melbourne metro. Nationwide shipping rates apply for customers in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and other locations.
Are fresh Indian sweets suitable for vegetarians?
Most traditional Indian sweets are vegetarian — made from milk, sugar, ghee, nuts, and natural flavourings without meat or eggs. Some may contain nuts or dairy, so always check the product description if you have allergies or specific dietary requirements.
