Mawa Khaajla is a classic Bohri sweet made from flaky, layered pastry fried to a crisp and generously coated in fragrant sugar syrup, laced eith saffron and cardamom. Filled with rich mawa (milk solids) and often garnished with nuts, it’s a festive treat enjoyed especially during celebrations and special gatherings. Delicately crunchy on the outside and soft within, it’s a nostalgic bite of warm Bohri hospitality.

It’s a Thaal Tales favourite!

Our latest Thaal Tales event brought 17 guests together around shared thaals for an afternoon of Bohra flavours, stories, and tradition. We opened with sodanno and mawa khaajla, eased into juicy fried chicken skewers, gol roti, and a comforting spinach & mince curry, and closed with the classic trio of dal chawal palida, papad, bharta, and refreshing paan shots.

An afternoon of communal eating, warm conversation, and the true Bohra way of sharing a meal. ✨🍽️
