The mohanthal my father used to bring home
Eleven Diwalis in a row now. The besan roast is proper - grainy, not fudgy, and you can smell the ghee when you open the tin. Ordered at 9 in the morning and it was at the house by evening.
Urad and chana besan beaten on a wooden board for the better part of an hour, rolled paper-thin and cut into strips that balloon the moment they touch the oil. Dusted with black salt and red chilli while still hot.
We make it for the Diwali fortnight only, because a good chorafali has to be eaten the same week and the beating is more work than any two other items combined. This year’s batches are booked out - the counter reopens with the festive menu.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 Rated 5.0 out of 5 Still crisp after three days in transit
Sent four kilos of fafda and gathiya to my son in Bengaluru. He said it arrived on the third day and was still loud. The tikha gathiya is genuinely spicy, which nobody else seems to manage.
Rated 4.0 out of 5 Penda is excellent, plan around the four days
Real mawa, no doubt about it, and the kesar is not just colour. Only four days shelf life though, so time the order for the day of your puja rather than ordering ahead like I did.
Rated 5.0 out of 5 Ordered sixty hampers for the office
Bulk order for staff Diwali gifts. They split the delivery across three addresses without fuss, wrote the cards by hand, and invoiced properly. The large tin looks far better than the price suggests.
