We have shared ingredients used in each of thekua in respective product page. Our thekua mainly consists of 100% pure wheat flour, pure desi cow ghee, jaggery or tal mishri.

We neither use preservative nor we need it, as pure desi cow ghee used in every stage acts as natural preservative and enhances shelf life.

At every stage - from wheat dough marination to frying -, only pure desi cow ghee is used. Nothing apart from ghee is used. We prepare in exactly the same way how it used to be centuries back, when Indian villages had abundance of cow milk and ghee in every household, palm or vegetable oil were not introduced by foreign brands, and such clean-label ingredients were key to wellbeing. When we say ghee thekua then we really mean it.

In food industry, profitability & quality do not get along, leading to reusability. And oil used for frying is one of the most exploited ingredients. Brands use the same oil for frying multiple batches, turning the food carcinogenic and impacting health of consumers.

To address this wellness concern, we, at Bhor, fry our snacks in small batches with as much ghee only as required. This increases our ghee consumption and in turn preparation cost. But wellness of our consumer is our top priority.

Let’s build together a healthier India and better future.

In Bangalore, we ensure to deliver within 2-days. Rest of India, we deliver it within 4-5days.

All our products are made fresh after receiving order and shipped soon after. So our thekua does have a shelf life of 45 days from the date of manufacturing.

To maintain it fresh, we recommend to store it in cool and dry place and away from sunlight. Also keep the lid close to avoid it from softening by moisture.

At Bhor, sustainability and nature are synonymous to Chaath. 

Chaath is a way to recognize and show respect to nature, which is integral part of our wellness in daily lives. With the same belief at Bhor, we have ensured that we as community extend our support to nature in every possible way - sourcing, sustainable cooking practices, eco-friendly packaging, etc. 

Join hands with us to support a cause - what Chaath truly stands for. 

Glycemic Index (GI) is a way to measure how quickly a food raises your blood sugar(glucose) levels after you eat it. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 100, where 100 is the pure glucose. Food with higher GI raises glucose level faster. While glucose raises energy level, it also raises blood sugar level and increases weight/fat.

GI level of refined sugar is 65-85, and it is 100% glucose and chemically processed. 

Glycemic index of jaggery is 70-85, but it contains calcium, iron, and other minerals, and it is naturally processed.

Glycemic index of tal mishri is 40-45, and it contains iron, potassium, magnesium, and other trace minerals, and it is naturally prepared.

Tal mishri is better compared to jaggery or refined sugar on many aspects.

1. Tal mishri does have low glycemic index (40-45) - which mean lower level of glucose & blood sugar spike
2. It releases energy gradually over longer period, unlike sudden spike in blood sugar level in the case of jagger or refined sugar.
3. It doesn't crash the energy level unlike other two, reducing sugar craving and preventing sugar addiction
4. It cools body and does have many other benefits as per ayurveda
5. It is prepared naturally and does have trace minerals - such as iron, potassium, etc

All the products are prepared after we receive order and shipped soon after. Such practice help us ensure that our consumers get it fresh. And it taste best.
