Makar Sankranti Food Gift Hampers
Along with a nip in the air, fresh beginnings and the excitement of an all-new start to the year, January also brings the harvest season in India. Sankranti along with other harvest festivals in India including Lohri and Pongal are here and our mithai magicians have put together the most delicious treats inspired by our favourite kite flying memories!
Our Makar Sankranti food gift hampers and collection features the Til Gur Choco Barks as we wanted to add a touch of til to our best-selling Choco Butterscotch Barks! Til Gur laddu is such an iconic treat to Sankranti and we wanted our barks to represent the harvest festival. Re-imagining the flavours of the laddu, our Til Gur Barks are made with two layers of dark chocolate that is layered with jaggery and sesame seeds inspired by the classic til gur laddu and sealed with toasted sesame seeds and sea salt on top. Each bite is nutty, crunchy and extremely decadent!
Read moreTil is such an integral part of Sankranti celebrations. Our Chief Mithaiwala has been meaning to feature Soan Papdi on the menu for quite some time and the season of harvest seemed like the perfect occasion. During his research trip to Kolkata a few years ago is when he learnt the painstaking method from local halwais. Soan papdi is made by hand-pulling a cooked mixture of besan, sugar and ghee until it turns into a golden pliable mass that is further pulled to create flaky dry strands that have a melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich flavour. Our Til Soan Papdi is made using the traditional method with the only addition of a black and white sesame paste that is introduced into the mixture when it is still moist. The end result is a delicious Soan Papdi that has a nutty finish.
Every celebration needs a dash of savoury to balance out all the sweet. As a part of our Makar Sankranti food gift hampers and collection we’re launching the newest addition to our namkeen, a Peri Peri Potato Salli Lachha made by grating potatoes into extremely thin strips that are almost straw like and frying them until golden brown. Once fried, the salli is tossed in a house-made spicy and slightly smokey peri peri seasoning. Enjoy a bowl of our Peri Peri Potato Salli Lachha during your tea-time along with other Sweet Shop favourites.
