Buy dry fruits online in Bikaner

Beyond bhujia

The world knows Bikaner for its namkeen, but the sweet side is just as local. Moong dal halwa, rasgulla and the winter gond ladoo all show up in homes, and many cooks add Goond Barik to the ladoo for crunch. A good ladoo wants Regular Badam chopped fine and a few Raisins.

Cold winters, hot summers

The Thar side of Rajasthan is very hot in May and surprisingly cold in December. Winter is the season for panjiri and ladoo, so stock up before the cold arrives. In summer, a fridge shelf protects Kaju Roasted from turning stale. Our makhana collection is popular for fast days and light snacking.

• Roast makhana in a drop of ghee with black pepper.
• Soak Munakka overnight for winter mornings.
• Keep whole spices dry, in tins.

Spices, too

Dry heat suits whole spices well. Cardamom, cumin and cloves from our spice shelf can ride in the same parcel.

Havelis, weddings and the thaal. Old Bikaner havelis hosted feasts famous for their endless dishes, and the habit lives on at weddings, where the dessert table is crowded with moong dal halwa, malpua and rabri. Cooks here like pistachio on rabri and almond flakes on halwa. A wedding family planning dozens of guests can order in several packs and keep the rest sealed until needed, which preserves the crunch for the later days of the function. Families around Lalgarh and Rani Bazar often store dry fruits in large steel drums inside cool inner rooms, a habit that comes from the old havelis, where thick walls kept the heat out. If you use a drum, add a muslin bag of dry cloves to keep insects away, and open it only when the jar is nearly empty.
