Celebrate Diwali With Vegan Mithai From Hari Prasad Mithai Wale

The festive season can be a real bummer for vegans. Why? Because it means mithai, and mithai = ghee, butter, khoya and milk. Tough luck, huh?

But where there’s a demand for vegan mithai, there’s a dynamic halwai creating delicious desi sweets - without the desi ghee!

Hari Prasad Mithai Wale is a Pune-based confectioner whipping up vegan sweets in India. He stocks old favourites like pedas and barfis, along with innovative veggie-based laddoos and dry fruit fudge. 

And the best part? You can buy all his vegan mithai online!

Compassion Tastes Better

The founder of Hari Prasad Mithai Wale is passionate about animals, which is why everything is vegan and prepared with high-quality plant-based alternatives

• Dairy-free
• Zero animal ingredients
• Machine-made varakh (silver paper)
• No additives or preservatives
• Made fresh, every day

Even Indian sweets which may not traditionally require dairy (like kaju katli), can have traces of animal derivatives in the form of varakh - the silver paper that’s used as a decoration.

But when you order from Hari Prasad, you are guaranteed pure vegan sweets.

Constantly Innovating

The menu is updated regularly and the team spends hours in the kitchen, fine-tuning recipes.

From paan flavoured katli “sandwiches” to Karachi halwa made using home-made orange crush, the team incorporates interesting flavours and ingredients you wouldn’t normally associate with traditional mithai.

The cham cham, for example, uses no dairy and is made with vegetables and a combination of vegan mava, dry fruits, raw sugar and plant milk.

“We incorporate actual vegetables like zucchini, carrots and lauki in our mithai. All my mithai is vegan – just the ingredients are different, that’s all."

Hari Prasad, Founder

Take Your Pick!

You won’t find a broader or more creative range of vegan mithai anywhere else. Choose from halwa, laddoo, barfi and more - like this vegan imarti jalebi, made from a blend of 2 different dals, saffron and raw sugar.

The rich katli barfi is made with cruelty-free vegan varakh.

We’re particularly partial to the carrot laddoos, made with freshly grated carrots, raw sugar and nuts. Think of it as gajar ka halwa in laddoo form, without the dairy!

The decadent chocolate barfi would be a great addition to your mithai box this year - made with rich cocoa and vegan mava!

The menu also has vegan versions of all-time favourites, including:

• Besan Laddoo
• Motichur Laddoo
• Coconut Barfi
• Almond Peda

Like all other mithai shops, Hari Prasad Mithai Wale requires a minimum purchase of 250 gms or 6 pieces.

But take our advice and order more than you think you’ll need - because won’t be able to stop at just one piece. These sweets are just that good!

And to sweeten the deal (pardon the pun), Hari Prasad Mithai Wale is giving a flat 10% discount on a minimum order of Rs. 500 placed via Vegan First!

So go ahead and ring in the festive season with sweets that don’t just taste good, but do good – for you, the animals and our planet. Compassion does tastes better!  

*Mithai made from vegetables cannot be couriered as it needs to be refrigerated.
