What is Mithai about?

Mithai is a sweet story, literally. In an era where we steadily continue to lose touch with our roots and origin, Mithai’s plot highlights the importance of a family. It brings about the essence of family values through traditions, affection, celebrations, festivities, and much more. The show focuses on the lives of the Modak family of Kolkata – well-known for their successful family business of sweets. Consisting of three generations, they are an ideal joint family wherein every member participates in everyday activities and celebrates festivals together. From seasonal delicacies, homely celebration to festivals round the year to the love of grandparents, the children of this era miss out on much. The show lets you revel in the beauty of togetherness under the same roof, while also reminding you that the most precious memories are created nowhere else but at home!

Mithai and her love for Monohara

Mithai is also about looking back at our rich and diverse tradition of food, especially sweets. Which Bengali festival was ever complete without some? The titular character, in the show, excels at preparing Monohara, a famous sweet native to Bengal’s Hooghly district that has become rare to find these days. As you watch the show, you can’t help but recall the times when traditional sweets and not Western desserts would be a mandatory part of every celebration. Isn’t that how true nostalgia sounds (and tastes) like? Take a bite of this lip-smacking journey to the old days today!
