So what goes into a delicious Dhodha?

Well, the recipe has been kept a secret, only known to generations of the Vig family. However, after tasting and also reading contents on the pack, some ingredients I could say that go into it include- milk, ghee, sugar, wheat beans, cashewnuts in addition to their secret recipe of select condiments. These are cooked together for hours to reach that perfect blend.

Although available in Kothapura and Ludhiana majorly, the Dhodha House does take orders online on their site to deliver to select cities in India.
