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.
Pistachio Pyramid Baklava
About Pistachio Pyramid Baklava
Pistachio Pyramid Baklava: Layered Phyllo with an Open Pistachio Crown
Pistachio Pyramid Baklava from Sri Annapurna Foods is a layered baklava built into a small pyramid. Sheets of phyllo are brushed one at a time with pure ghee and stacked dozens deep, with ground pistachio spread between them, and the top is crowned with coarsely chopped pistachio. It is finished with a light soak of sugar syrup, so the layers stay crisp.
Available as a Box of 9, a Box of 16 or a Box of 25, it suits festive gifting, dessert tables and family occasions. Made in Varanasi.
About Pistachio Pyramid Baklava
Baklava is a layered pastry of thin phyllo and chopped nuts, finished with syrup. A pyramid is built, not cut: the stack is shaped by hand into a tapering form, with the nut crown left bare on top. That open crown is the difficult part, since the exposed nut scorches easily, so these are baked lower and slower than a sealed baklava would be. Ours sits in our Baklava range as the layered, pistachio-led option, next to our Greek Kunafa Baklava, Nutella Bulbul Nest and Cashew Bulbul Nest.

-
An Open Pistachio Crown: Coarsely chopped pistachio pressed onto the exposed top.
-
Shaped by Hand: Each stack is shaped by hand into a tapering pyramid.
-
Baked Lower and Slower: The bare crown scorches easily, so it gets gentler heat.

Lightly Syruped: Sugar syrup goes on lightly so the layers stay crisp, not spongy.
-
Vegetarian and Eggless: Suitable for vegetarian and egg-free households.
How It’s Made
A pyramid is built, not cut. Sheets of phyllo rolled to near-transparency are brushed one at a time with pure ghee, not butter, which browns before the layers have crisped, and stacked, dozens deep, each sheet adding a layer you will later hear rather than see. Ground pistachio is spread between them, the stack is shaped by hand into a tapering pyramid, and a crown of coarsely chopped pistachio is pressed onto the exposed top. That crown is the difficult part: with the nut sitting bare in the oven it scorches easily, so these bake lower and slower than a sealed baklava would. Syrup goes on afterwards and only lightly, hot pastry and cooled syrup, never both hot, so the layers stay crisp instead of turning to a sweet sponge.
Ingredients
• Phyllo pastry — wheat flour
• Pistachios
• 100% pure desi ghee
• Sugar
• Lemon
Contains: Wheat (gluten), pistachios, milk (ghee). No artificial colour, essence or preservative — the green is the pistachio’s own. Made in a facility that also processes other tree nuts.
Storage Instructions
Keep in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place, and store the pieces upright in a single layer — the exposed pistachio crown is the part that suffers under weight. Do not refrigerate: cold turns crisp phyllo limp and it does not recover. Reseal after every serving, since humidity softens the layers within hours of the box being left open. Serve at room temperature, when the pastry gives way cleanly under a fork.

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.
