What to send for Dhanteras

Dhanteras calls for the sweets that open the festival: kaju katli, motichoor laddu, besan laddu, dry-fruit mithai and soan papdi, with a savoury side of chekkalu or murukulu. All of it keeps two to four weeks, so a box ordered for Dhanteras is still fresh for Bhai Dooj on 10 November.
