Often in the West, milk sweets such as burfi and sandesh are mixed with hard

foodstuffs. Mixing with nuts is especially common. However, this is not the

practice in India. Pleasure from food is derived not only from taste, but

also from other factors such as texture, temperature and appearance. Milk

sweets are supposed to be soft, and mixing nuts into them spoils the

softness, unless the nuts are first powdered.
