The family who brought an Indian sweet to Pakistan The Indian city of Badaun and the city of Mardan in Pakistan are separated by 1,200km of territory, a vicious communal divide, and a heavily militarised border. But Mardan's chief sweet delicacy - the Badauni pedha - still holds the aroma and the taste of a shared past. And this has been made possible by a migrant family of semi-literate farmers. Pedhas are grainy balls of condensed milk, or khoa, mixed with sugar and spices. They are believed to have originated in Varanasi and Mathura and have been used as religious offerings, or prasad, in Hindu temples. While the delicacy spread to various parts of India early on, its advent in northwestern Pakistan dates to 1950 when a couple of villagers from India's Bareilly district set up a shop in Mardan. The ambiance of the shop is not dissimilar to most traditional sweet outlets across India and Pakistan; it is small and untidy, housed on the ground floor of a narrow, ramshackle three-storey building. The factory is located on the first floor. But trading is brisk for a small city like Mardan; a salesman says they sell an average of 200kg of pedhas a day, besides other sweets. How to make a Badauni pedha: Condense milk with a unique mixture of spices over a slow flame into a thick lump, called khoa Shape the mixture into a ball and dip in sugar Spice ingredients could include green cardamom, almonds, and pistachios A hand-painted signboard hangs from the second storey, covering the entire front of the building. Besides the name of the shop - Badauni Pedha House - it carries a portrait of Mehmood Ali Khan, the owner, who is introduced as "Baba-e-Zaiqa", or the "father of flavor". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-4... ——— Tasty Fish Point - One of the best fish restaurants in Rawalpindi | Best winter food in Rawalpindi    • Tasty Fish Point Pirwadai Mor | Famous Fis...   Pindi Food Fest 2022 | A 3 days Grand festival of Rawalpindi Chamber Of Commerce And Industry | RCCI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Oj-8...
