A few more desserts/sweets that came to mind:
Roht – Sweetened bread with a hint of cardamom and topped with nigella seeds.
Kolcha Mazar – A buttery flatbread flavoured with rosewater and cardamom.
Shir Berenj – Rice pudding flavoured with rosewater, cardamom and ground pistachios.
Khajour - A leavened pastry which is fried and coated with sugar (and sometimes cinnamon).

Re: Dessert dishes from different cultures
A fried dough kind of dessert is common across many cultures. There's, of course, the iconic doughnut of America, beignets in French and Louisiana Creole cuisines, Polish Paczkis, Spanish churros and Italian zeppole. Jalebis are ubiquitous in South Asia and are both delicious and inexpensive. And then there are similar jalebi like sweets such as Bamiyeh in Persian cuisine.
Likewise some kind of bread pudding seems to be present in many cultures. Shahi tukray and Hyderabadi "double ka meetha" are quite famous in parts of India as well as Pak. There is "Om Ali" in Egyptian cuisine and bread and butter pudding in British cuisine. Across the pond, bread pudding is quite common too with some delicious versions involving chocolate, pecans etc..
I have not met many desserts I did not like! Looking back, my grandmother used to make lovely egg katlis, a fudge like confectionary which didn't taste weird or 'eggy' at all despite apparently having eggs as the main ingredient. Her version of bread pudding made with white bread, saffron, pistachios etc. was, true to its name, sumptuous as well. My mom makes something similar and it's one of my favorite desserts. My other favorites include the quintessentially American dessert of apple pie, and warm brownie with a scoop of melting Vanilla ice cream. Yum.

Traditional desserts/sweets Hyderabad is known for:
Double ka meetha is the cousin of shahi tukray lol…the texture and end product of double ka meetha is chunkier and thicker than that of shahi tukray
Badam ki jali. No wedding or celebration in Hyderabad is complete without these almond cookie/confections. They are painstaking to make, thus the fervor and excitement lol.
Qubani ka meetha…dried apricots are stewed and cooked with a sugar syrup to a thick compote like consistency and garnished with nuts and malai/cream/custard
have you ever tried it if not please don’t bother.

This sugar candy and toys (dolls, etc) made of it brings lot of childhood memories. We used to call this sugar candy as pasham (probably taken from pashmeena silky / woolen clothes)
