Bonobhumi Shahi Lachcha Semai uses wheat flour strands pre-fried in pure ghee. This 500g pack forms the base for traditional desserts like payesh or kheer. The high ghee content keeps the thin strands separate after adding hot milk.
Key Features
- Pure Ghee Frying: Processing involves 100% pure ghee to fry the wheat strands. Retains a traditional aroma that survives heavy milk dilution.
- Quick-Softening Strands: Porous vermicelli strands absorb hot liquids in roughly three minutes. Reduces kitchen time significantly during busy festival mornings.
- Thin Wheat Texture: Fine-gauge wheat flour construction creates a soft, delicate mouthfeel. Maintains structural integrity even in high humidity environments.
- Refined Flour Base: High-quality wheat flour contains the starch needed for thick desserts. Thickens the milk slightly as the strands release natural gluten.
