Warmth on a Plate
Lohri cuisine embodies the nourishment of winter, the bounty of agriculture, and a spirit of thankfulness. Each bite, whether of crispy Rewri or hearty Sarson da Saag, shares a tale of resilience and happiness.
Seasonal & Spiritual
Lohri revolves around food, representing warmth, energy, and sharing. Each ingredient, like sesame, jaggery, maize, and mustard greens, holds cultural significance and health benefits from Ayurveda.
Winter Nutrition
Sesame seeds produce warmth internally, while Jaggery enhances immunity and aids digestion in cold weather.
Agrarian Roots
Sarson da Saag is a dish that highlights the freshness of winter greens straight from the fields.
The Lohri Prasad

Gur (Jaggery)
Symbolizes sweetness and abundance. Encourages living with a grateful heart.
Rewri & Gajak
Delicious treats crafted from sesame and jaggery, generously shared to bring happiness.
The Signature Meal
Makki di Roti
A hearty, country-style corn flatbread crafted from cornmeal. Perfect with a spoonful of fresh churned white butter. Celebrates the tradition of eating with the seasons.
