Most households make one or two things and buy the rest. Here is how to buy well.
A busy mithai shop makes fresh batches daily through the season. A shop with an elaborate box and no queue is usually moving old stock. Ask when this batch was made — a good shop will tell you without hesitating.
Kaju katli, badam barfi and dry-fruit rolls survive several days at room temperature. Anything with fresh milk or paneer — rasmalai, peda, sandesh — needs refrigeration and should be bought last, not first.
Festival mithai is often sweeter than the same sweet off-season, because sugar is a preservative. Most shops will make a less-sweet batch to order if you give them a day.
Real chandi ki varak is edible. If the silver layer looks like thin foil you can peel, it is not varak and it should not be eaten. This is a genuine and common food-safety problem with cheap kaju katli.
