History of the Product + Ingredients
This classic mithai traces its roots to the kitchens of Gujarat, where festive sweets have long been a symbol of celebration and hospitality. The process begins with roasting gram flour (besan) slowly in pure ghee, releasing a nutty aroma, before being infused with cardamom’s warm spice and saffron’s golden richness. Premium nuts are used as garnish, adding crunch to the melt-in-the-mouth base. Traditionally prepared for festivals like Diwali and weddings, it remains a beloved indulgence across generations.
Shelf Life
Best enjoyed within 7 days from the date of preparation, when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
