paangias

Paangias are a type of traditional Indian sweet dish, originating from the state of Maharashtra. The term "paangias" is derived from the Marathi word "paangiya," which means "to wrap." This dish is typically made during festivals and special occasions, such as Diwali, Holi, and weddings. Paangias are made by wrapping a sweet mixture around a small piece of cloth or paper, which is then dipped in a sugar syrup. The sweet mixture is usually a combination of khoya (mawa), ghee, and sugar, sometimes flavored with cardamom or saffron. The cloth or paper used for wrapping is often dyed in vibrant colors, adding a visual appeal to the dish. Paangias are known for their rich, creamy texture and sweet flavor. They are often served chilled and are a popular treat among Indians, especially in the western regions of the country.
