Multani Sohan Halwa
Multan's legendary brittle confection — a hard, snapping slab of caramelised sugar, wheat starch, ghee, and whole nuts. Nothing like soft halwa. This one shatters. And it is magnificent.
Multani Sohan Halwa — Gift Box Style
Authentic Multani sohan halwa — the legendary South Punjab confection made by reducing wheat starch with sugar and ghee into a glossy, firm disc studded with pistachios and almonds. The GI-protected sweet of Multan, traditionally gifted in ornate tins. Challenging but deeply rewarding to make.
