Sarnanevat

Sarnanevat, also known as sarnanevats or sarnanevata, are a type of traditional Indian sweet made from a mixture of sugar, milk, and ghee (clarified butter). The term "sarnanevat" is derived from Sanskrit, where "sarana" means sugar and "nevata" means sweet. These sweets are typically prepared during festivals and special occasions in India, particularly during Diwali, Holi, and other Hindu festivals.

The process of making sarnanevat involves heating sugar and milk together until the sugar dissolves completely. Then, ghee is added to the mixture and stirred until it melts and combines with the sugar and milk. The mixture is then poured into molds or trays and allowed to cool and set. The resulting sweets have a smooth, creamy texture and a rich, sweet flavor.

Sarnanevat are often garnished with nuts, dried fruits, or edible flowers to enhance their appearance and add a crunchy texture. They are typically served chilled or at room temperature and are enjoyed as a dessert or a snack. The sweet has a long history in Indian cuisine and is considered a classic treat that is beloved by people of all ages.
