What Makes Our Houh Special
- Thin, Delicate Layers: Hand-prepared crepe-like sheets that are translucent and melt in your mouth, never thick or doughy.

Create a very thin batter from flour, water, and a pinch of salt - the foundation for delicate layers.
Step 2: Cook the Sheets
Carefully cook each sheet on a hot surface until it becomes translucent and forms delicate, lace-like patterns.
Step 3: Layer with Ghee
Stack the sheets, brushing authentic ghee between each layer for richness and tradition.
Step 4: Soak in Syrup
Soak the entire stack in aromatic syrup infused with rose water and cardamom for perfect flavor absorption.
