The Culinary Jewel of Ancient Nalanda
Legend holds that when Lord Buddha traveled through the ancient city of Nalanda, he was offered this highly intricate multi-layered sweet by local residents. Amazed by its delicate crisp structure, it quickly became a revered staple of the kingdom.
Centuries later, the legendary Sah community of master halwais painstakingly passed the secret method from generation to generation, keeping the strict mathematical art of the 52 layers purely intact.
Today, this distinct recipe is officially recognized globally via the GI Tag (Geographical Indication No. 611), certifying that authentic premium Khaja can only ever be created within the unique soil and microclimate of Silao.
