Today’s Fresh Desi Ghee Silao Khaja – Authentic Bihar’s Crispy Layered Sweet | Traditional Khaja Mithai | Diwali Special | Prasad Sweet | Flaky Pastry Dessert

Relish the royal heritage of Bihar with the royal crunchiness of Today’s Fresh Desi Ghee Silao Khaja, a centuries-old famous sweet originating from Silao village near Nalanda, the heart of Bihar. Our artisan Khajas have 12 – 16 delicate layers of premium maida, carefully folded by hand and fried in pure desi ghee to create its signature golden crispiness. Each bite has a great textural difference – a sizzling crisp exterior giving way to soft, flaky sweet layers inside, lightly sweetened with traditional sugar syrup.

This traditional Silao Khaja (named after its place of origin Silao, Nalanda) is prepared using ancient Mauryan era techniques, making it a cultural heritage sweet. Perfectly balanced with a light sugar syrup, it is neither too sweet nor dry – the perfect festive post-meal royal mithai for Diwali, Chhath Puja or just for that matter. It is such that you will not be able to stop yourself from eating it.
