Authentic Kumaoni Singori (Singodi)

The Art of the Wild Malu Leaf

In Uttarakhand confectionery, Singori represents an ancient tradition where nature and food exist in poetic synergy. The broad, fragrant leaves of the Malu climber (Bauhinia vahlii) are harvested from the lower Himalayan forests and carefully washed.

Pure cow milk is reduced into tender khoya, flavored with freshly crushed green cardamom, and filled while warm into the hand-folded leaf cones. As the sweet rests inside the leaf, the delicate heat draws out the natural aromatic resins of the foliage, infusing the sweet with a subtle, earthy herbal fragrance that synthetic flavorings could never replicate.

When enjoying Singori, unfold the triangular tip of the leaf cone to unveil the silky, cardamom-speckled sweet. It offers a delightfully tender texture and a refreshingly balanced dairy finish.
