Bhujia

 

We manufacture Bikaneri bhujia, a traditional crispy snack which is made using dew bean (moth dal), gram flour (besan), edible oil, salt, and various spices, and is light yellow in colour. It is famously known to have been first prepared in Bikaner and enjoys geographical indication tagging and has grown over years from being a cottage industry product to being manufactured in large scale in state of art manufacturing units. We are the largest manufacturer of Bikaneri bhujia in India (Source: F&S Report) and produced 26,690 tonnes in Fiscal 2021. We manufacture Bikaneri bhujia at our manufacturing facility in Bikaner using the traditional furnaces (where bhujia is made by hand) and automated furnaces which are then blended and packed in a state-of-the-art automated packaging plant, which gives our Bikaneri bhujia a distinctive, authentic and exclusive taste. Our key export regions for our Bhujia outside India include Asia Pacific, North America and Middle East.
