This Gurupurab, Khoya Mithai, is bringing a special version of the sacred Kada Prashad, a revered offering during the celebrations of auspicious Guru Nanak Jayanti. Known for their excellent craftsmanship in creating sweets, Khoya Mithai is enriching this divine dessert with an elegant take, combining tradition with culinary artistry.
Gurupurab marks the birth of Guru Nanak, the revered first Sikh guru, who founded Sikhism and established the spiritual principles followed by millions today. The three-day celebration is filled with community events, processions, hymns, and prayers. At its heart is the spirit of seva (selfless service), a theme that highlights the significance of Kada Prashad, the sweet blessed offering served at Gurdwaras. This offering symbolises hospitality and unity, with its presence in the sacred ritual reminding devotees of the importance of sharing, giving, and community.
Khoya Mithai has honoured this tradition with its own take on atta ka halwa, or Kada Prashad. It is created with the finest ingredients: whole wheat flour, sugar, and ghee, delicately garnished with blanched almonds and pistachios. The result is a smooth, glossy texture that melts in the mouth, with a nutty, aromatic finish that offers a moment of quiet fulfilment.
‘At Khoya Mithai, we believe that the spirit of seva should grow beyond the Gurdwara,’ says Sid Mathur, founder and director of Khoya Mithai. ‘For us, this Gurupurab, we have carefully crafted our version of Kada Prashad to praise the tradition while offering our customers a taste that stays with the same sense of community and connection. It’s about taking something sacred and giving it the reverence and care it deserves.’
Khoya’s atta ka halwa will be available in 500g portions, packaged beautifully for gifting or personal joy, at a price of INR 650. As a pre-order exclusive, it will be available for dispatch on November 15th, making it the perfect offering to observe this festive occasion with loved ones.
For those looking to make their Gurupurab celebrations truly memorable, Khoya Mithai’s version of Kada Prashad is a symbol of timeless tradition, exquisitely reinterpreted for today’s discerning taste.
