Vegan Mithai Delivered To Your Doorstep For Rakhi!

Wondering what to get your brother or sister this rakhi? Try vegan mithai from Vijay Sweets, Coimbatore!

That’s right. Vegan Indian mithai. It’s not an oxymoron – it’s delicious, it’s a reality and it’s all being done by Aravindan V out of his family-run sweet shop in Selvapuram, Coimbatore. 

Take your pick from:

• Vegan Mysore Pak (Rs 500/kg including shipping)
• Cashew Halwa (Rs 400/kg including shipping)
• Ragi Mylk Halwa (Rs 500/kg including shipping)
• Wheat Mylk Halwa (Rs 500/kg including shipping)

Apart from these, they have ghee-free murukku and around 40 varieties of traditional namkeen on offer. Everything is 100% plant-based and tastes just as good (if not better!) than their dairy-filled counterparts.

Plant-Mylk Halwa

The ragi and wheat mylk halwas have been launched in time for the festive season and are made from plant-mylks which Aravindan and his team cold-press in-house. The wheat-mylk halwa also happens to be sugar-free, using jaggery as a sweetening agent.

Why Vegan?

Indian sweets are traditionally heavy on dairy. “Pure-ghee” is a common prefix on any box of mithai – but ghee is neither ethical nor necessary to make great-tasting mithai.

This is exactly what Aravindan set out to prove when he joined the family business. His family has been selling sweets and namkeen for 3 decades now, but when Aravindan took over, he wanted to do it the ethical way – which meant no milk and no ghee.

Why Vijay Sweets? 

Aravindan uses plant-based mylks instead of ghee and milk – and for his first batch of vegan sweets, he spent 2 months in the kitchen formulating the perfect ratio to mimic the taste, texture and colour of ghee-laden mysore pak and halwa. 

Vijay Sweets' vegan line was launched last Diwali with 2 items on the menu - vegan mysore pak and cashew halwa. In less than a year, Aravindan has made the business 100% vegan. Today, his kitchen uses ZERO animal products.

Many old-timers who have been visiting the shop for generations say that they can't tell the difference - and the rest say that the sweets and namkeen taste even better  veganised!
