There can be no mention made of Dharwad without its most renowned export, the Dharwad Pedha. Not many know this, but the original version made at Babusingh’s Thakur Dharwad Pedha has a legacy that goes back over 150 years when a halwai (sweetmeat cook), Ramratan Singh migrated to Karnataka from Unnao near Lucknow to escape the plague. A new beginning was made in Dharwad where he would roam the markets with a tray of unique pedha to sell. It was only a matter of time before the taste of this roasted khoya creation caught the fancy of local palates, and like they say, the rest is history. Generations later, the Dharwad Pedha may be shipped across the globe, but is still handmade the old-fashioned way. I met with Karan Singh, sixth generation of the Babusingh’s Thakur family to learn more about the making of this iconic Dharwad mithai. Hope you enjoy this episode. Take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

Feels good to watch about Dharwad Pedha here. That street is called "Line Bazaar" owing to the fact that people stood in a queue there to buy the pedhas.

[@basavarajusc9507]

Earlier when I passed SSLC in 1972 my father stood for hours to get 2 kg of pedha to distribute to family and friends, there was a limit on sales, ì don't know whether it's known to the present owner. Babusingh pedha and Bajaj Scooter were synonymous at that time, both were in limited STOCK.

Close to about 23 years ago we use to line up in front of the Thakur villa .. early as 6 am as before 8 am it use to sell out completely ... and I have seen many people return disappointed .. BTW one more interesting thing I want share about this Dharwad pedha .. few naati doctors in nearby villages use to suggest this pedha for migraine .. they suggest it to be consumed early in the morning as sun rises , facing the rising sun .. and as many I spoke about their treatment they said , they were cured .. it still remains mystery to me .. but this was quite common in those days ...

[@prasannaR7]

Finally the sweetest episode of UK tour is out. I'm from Dharwad and was excited to watch this episode via FL Tv lens. I must say Dharwad carries a feather in her cap coz of this sweet. 3 reasons behind the making this tasty Pedha, 1st credit to Thakur, Mishra and few other Families who run Pedha business. 2nd credit to Dharwad Buffalos.😀.It's an different breed of Buffalo you can come across in Dharwad. The Milk will be too thick and creamy hence the output of Dharwad Pedha are the best. 3rd credit to Dharwad climate which you cannot see in Hubli or other place of North Karnataka . Taste have certainly changed in last 30+ years but Thakur family still serves with better quality compare to others.

Dharwad peda is my favourite sweet, when I got very high marks in 7th standard I celebrated it with dharwad peda ,till now the tradition is continuing whenever I celebrate 👍
