# Sohan Roll – Traditional Banarasi Sweet

Sohan Roll is a traditional Banarasi mithai loved for its delicate, fine layers, rich flavour and distinctive spiral shape. Prepared with roasted besan, cashew nuts, sugar and pure desi ghee, this classic sweet is carefully stretched and rolled to create a texture that is crisp on the outside and soft, delicate and melt-in-the-mouth within.

Enjoy the traditional taste of Sohan Roll from Shri Annapurna Sweets. Made with fine gram flour, ground cashews and aromatic green cardamom, each roll is finished with edible silver leaf (vegetarian warq) for a distinctive presentation. This Banarasi speciality is a delightful choice for festive celebrations, family gatherings, gifting or enjoying after meals.  

In the old mithai bylanes of Varanasi, the sohan roll has always been the sweet you buy for someone you want to impress — a wedding host, a favourite teacher, a relative visiting after years. Ours follows the same recipe our kitchen has used since 2000: roasted besan and ground kaju, worked by hand into paper-thin sheets, layered and rolled while still warm so every slice reveals its signature spiral. It's less sweet than most Banarasi mithai, which is exactly why it's survived 25 years of customers who keep coming back to it for Diwali, Rakhi, and the quiet Tuesday when nothing but a good sweet will do.

    ## How It's Made
    
    We start by slow-roasting besan in pure desi ghee until it turns a deep golden brown and releases its nutty aroma — rush this step and the roll turns dense instead of flaky. A rich kaju paste, lightly sweetened with sugar syrup and a touch of cardamom, is spread over the roasted besan in thin, even sheets. While still pliable, each sheet is rolled tight by hand, cut into rounds, and finished with a whisper of edible silver varq. The result is a roll with dozens of fine, delicate layers — crisp on the outside, and soft enough to dissolve the moment it meets your tongue.
