Ghari is a traditional sweet from Surat, Gujarat, made with a rich filling of mawa (milk solids), nuts, and sugar, encased in a dough made from refined flour, then deep-fried in ghee and coated with a ghee-sugar layer. It is especially enjoyed during the Chandi Padvo festival.

When is Ghari traditionally eaten?

Ghari is most commonly enjoyed during Chandi Padvo, a festival celebrated a day after Sharad Poornima, especially in Surat. It is a time-honored tradition for Surtis to indulge in white sweets like Ghari on this occasion.

What are the different types of Ghari available?

India Shopping offers a wide selection of Ghari varieties to suit every taste, including Pista Ghari, Kesar Badam Pista Ghari, Dry Fruit Ghari, Sugar-Free Badam Pista Ghari, Kesar Badam Ghari Surti Bhusu, and Ghari Penda. Each type is crafted with rich ingredients and traditional preparation methods, offering a unique and authentic taste of Gujarat’s sweet heritage.

Is Ghari suitable for people with dietary restrictions?

While traditional Ghari is rich in ghee, sugar, and dry fruits, we also offer sugar-free Ghari options for those with dietary concerns. However, due to the use of dairy and nuts, Ghari may not be suitable for those with lactose intolerance or nut allergies. Please check individual product ingredients before ordering.

How is Ghari different from other Indian sweets?

Ghari stands out for its rich filling of mawa and nuts, fried outer layer, and final ghee coating. It’s denser, more indulgent, and holds strong cultural significance in Gujarat, especially during Chandi Padvo.
