Servants ... brought around fruit jice and tea and coffee and snacks to those who were standing in the garden: samosas, kachauris, laddus, gulab-jamuns, barfis and gajak and ice-cream were consumed and replenished along with puris and six kinds of vegetables. (p. 15)
Kachauri, or kachori, is a spicy fried snack. It is usually a round or flattened ball of flour dough stuffed with baked yellow moong dal mixed with other ingredients and spices.
Laddu, or laddoo, is an Indian sweet. Dough made from flour and other ingredients is shaped into balls and dipped in sugar syrup. Many variations exist.
Barfi, a traditional sweet in Northern India, is made by cooking condensed milk and sugar until the mixture solidifies. It is often flavored or garnished by nuts such as cashews, pistachios, or almonds. Many varieties of flavors exist.
You can find my notes on gulab-jamuns and gajak in this old post.
