Meethayan and gulab jamun are from indian origin lol

I like pakistani Habshi Halwa, which is very tasty

gulab Jamun and Halwas actually came to south asia through arabs, but their version are a bit different

Other sweets seem to be from local areas specially eastern india. I was surprised (kheer) could be actually 2000-3000 year old, as it is mentioned in old Sanskrit texts

You can add it , not sure if it will stay or not get edited though .

I also like the sweet rice which I had in a restaurant in Dubai, I think it's similer to this one in the photo (Zarda) , not really sure if what I had was Zardah or something else . I also tried sweet white rice with colours long time ago which is different to the one in the photo below and it's not kheer :
