Description
Diwali sweets are crafted through precise thermal and chemical transformations that yield distinct colors, flavors, and textures.
Technical
Diwali sweets involve caramelization of sucrose, Maillard reactions during flour roasting, starch gelatinization in batter, and fat crystallization in ghee-based confections. Controlled frying temperatures and syrup concentrations dictate moisture retention and texture, while the crystallization of milk fat stabilizes mouthfeel.
