Namakwali Pahadi Rotane (Thekua) is the traditional Ghee Gud sweet of Uttarakhand, handmade with whole wheat atta, jaggery (gud), desi ghee and saunf. In the hills, a bride comes to her new home carrying a bag full of rotane. In Bihar, the same sweet is loved as thekua and offered at Chhath Puja. Now this heritage sweet comes straight from Pahadi kitchens to yours.

What is Rotane?
Rotane (also called rotana, rotna or roat) is a traditional sweet from Garhwal and Kumaon in Uttarakhand, made for weddings, festivals and family occasions. It is the Pahadi cousin of Bihar's famous thekua: same atta-gud base, with a Himalayan touch.
