Babusingh Thakur Pedha — The Original Dharwad Pedha Since 1846

Some sweets are food. This one is history. Babusingh Thakur Pedha is the original Dharwad Pedha — a Geographical Indication (GI) tagged sweet with a legacy stretching back to 1846, when Ramratan Singh Thakur, a migrant from Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, first crafted this extraordinary delicacy in Dharwad, Karnataka. His grandson, Babu Singh Thakur, carried the tradition forward and gave the brand its name — a name that has become synonymous with the finest Dharwad Pedha for nearly two centuries.

Made with just two ingredients — pure milk and sugar — slow-cooked over a wood fire for nearly four hours until it transforms into a deep, caramelized, dark brown pedha with a soft, grainy texture and an incomparably rich flavour. No artificial colours. No preservatives. No shortcuts. Just the original recipe, unchanged since 1846.
