Madam, There is Mishra pedha too which is more synonyms to Dharwad pedha.
The only difference between Thakur and Mishra is sweetness apart from that they are exactly same.
Mishra’s find origin from UP.

Arbab Saab – Wish I had known of your city’s offering when I visited in the 90s. I do have fond memories of so many other things from your city including eating chapali kebabs with colleagues and going to the border for shopping imported goods including some nefarious things (though it was strictly prohibited for foreigners) 🙂

In reply to Aarkayne. My family is originally from North Karnataka, and have lived in Dharwad extensively. Interestingly I have visited Peshawar on work in the 90s and I wish I had known of the Dharwad Pedha's cousin that existed there, I woud've brought back some with me when I traveled back. I doubt I will ever go back to Peshawar but will look for friends from Pakistan to perhaps source it for me on their next visit there.

True Vidya. As long as the tongue likes it, it can come from anywhere. My most favourite Mithai is Imarti – it is simply divine.

Only diabetics know the true worth of Mithai – for we are not diabetic for no reason.

Dharwad pedha is a favorite at home, Anuradha. And I know it is connected to the Mathura pedha. In fact, anyone who hasn’t lived in Karnataka and tastes it for the first time, instantly thinks it is a North Indian pedha. Personally, I don’t mind where it is from. This….and ajmeri kalakand. Oh, bliss. (and sigh, diabetes!). 🙂 Thank you for a delightful post!

Salaam Arbab,

I am really interested in Pashtun culture and have been reading a lot about it lately. I would like to pay a visit to Mardan someday. I read about the ‘Badayooni peda’ in Mardan.

Can you help me with the adress and contact information of that shop? Also, is there more than one sweet shop that sells those pedas?

Shukriya,
Akira.
