The shopfront of Mohanji Mithaiwala features an unassuming, narrow opening that spills over with the scent of simmering ghee and sugar syrup. This shop exists because of a specific recipe for mawa kachori, a deep-fried pastry stuffed with milk solids and dried fruits. Decades ago, the original owner perfected the balance of spices in the filling, refusing to share the proportions with anyone. He spent his mornings leaning over a massive iron cauldron, stirring until the mixture turned a perfect golden brown.
