General Questions

Close enough that people often describe it that way. It’s flaky and layered like a doughnut, but denser, and coated in a sugar glaze instead of being deep fried and sugared the Western way.

Mostly the ghee. It’s fried slowly in clarified butter and then soaked in sugar syrup, which is exactly what gives it that rich, indulgent taste, but also means it’s not exactly a light snack.

Diwali’s when it’s most popular, but it’s also a common wedding sweet across North India, Pakistan, and Nepal, so you’ll see it served at other celebrations too, not just one festival.

Yes, it’s fully vegetarian, made from flour, sugar, and ghee, no egg or gelatine involved.

Yes, Maharaja Sweets ships Balushahi all over the UK  from our kitchen in Slough so it is not just local collection.
