Cashew Bulbul Nest from Sri Annapurna Foods is a nest-shaped phyllo pastry filled with cashew halves. Paper-thin phyllo is brushed with pure ghee, coiled into a ruffled nest, filled with cashews and baked until the ridges turn deep gold, then lightly syruped. It has a crackling shell and a nutty, crunchy centre.
Available as a Box of 9, a Box of 16 or a Box of 25, it suits dessert tables, festive gifting and family occasions. Made in Varanasi.
A bulbul nest shapes phyllo pastry into a small coiled ring, filled in the centre. The skill is in the gathering: the layers are pushed in from both ends so they ruffle into a nest rather than a smooth ring. Ours is filled with cashews, broken into halves rather than ground, so the filling keeps its bite. The syrup goes on lightly and only once, because the point of the nest is the crackle when it breaks. It sits in our Baklava range as the cashew phyllo nest, next to our Nutella Bulbul Nest and Greek Kunafa Baklava.
Paper-Thin Phyllo: Worked a few sheets at a time and kept covered, so it stays crisp and coils without cracking.
Brushed with Pure Ghee: Ghee does not brown before the pastry crisps, unlike butter.
Cashew Halves, Not Ground: The filling keeps its crunch and texture.
Lightly Syruped, Only Once: Restraint with the syrup keeps the nest crisp rather than soggy.
Three Box Sizes: A Box of 9, 16 or 25, to match the occasion.
Vegetarian and Eggless: Suitable for vegetarian and egg-free households.
Phyllo has to be worked fast and covered constantly, because a sheet left out for five minutes is already too brittle to coil. A few sheets at a time are brushed with pure ghee, which, unlike butter, will not brown before the pastry crisps, then wrapped around a thin rod and pushed in from both ends so the layers ruffle into a nest rather than a smooth ring. The coil is slipped off, filled with W240 cashews broken into halves rather than ground, and baked until the ridges turn deep gold. Then comes the syrup, and restraint matters here. Ours goes on lightly and only once, because a nest drowned in chashni is a soggy nest, and the whole reason to build one by hand is the crackle when it breaks.
• Phyllo pastry — wheat flour
• Cashew nuts (W240 grade)
• 100% pure desi ghee
• Sugar
• Green cardamom
Contains: Wheat (gluten), cashew nuts, milk (ghee). No artificial colour, essence or preservative. Made in a facility that also processes other tree nuts.
Keep in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate — cold turns crisp phyllo limp and it will not come back. Humidity does the same more slowly, so reseal the box after each serving rather than leaving it open on the table. Store flat and avoid stacking anything on top, since the ruffled edges are fragile by design. Serve at room temperature for the full crackle.

Tastes exactly like the peda we used to get in Varanasi as kids. Not overly sweet, and the texture is spot on. Ordered a second box within the week.
Ordered for a family function, arrived well packed and fresh. Everyone asked where I got it from. Will reorder for Diwali.
Good taste, slightly sweeter than I expected but still very good quality. Delivery was quick, within 3 days.
