Frequently Asked Questions
Is it overly sweet?
We maintain a perfectly balanced sweetness. The sugar coating is delicate and not cloying, allowing you to taste the richness of the ghee.
Does it contain Maida?
We primarily use whole wheat flour mixed with a very small amount of refined flour to achieve the perfect flakiness while keeping it healthier.
How is it sweetened?
We use a traditional sugar syrup (chashni) to lightly coat the fried squares.
