This strip, which has been built for more than 20 years, is prepared in the 102 -year -old Kalavati Gatta Bhandar of Kannauj. The traders here say that this bandage is of two types- dry fruits and rose perfumes. Both types of strips are used pure desi ghee, fresh white sesame and sugar candy, but what makes it different from the rest of the common sesame straps is that it is pure rose of Kannauj in it.
Saksham Vaishya says, ‘Kannauj perfume is added to our rose strip, which makes both its taste and aroma special. This tradition has been going on for years and customers buy it with great fervor every time ‘. The process of making this bandage is also interesting – first of all, white sesame is roasted on low flame and cooked in sugar candy and desi ghee. After this, mixing nuts or rose perfume in it and rolling the mixture is made as a bandage.
First choice in festivals and gifts
Rose -perfume sesame strip is very much liked for festivals and gifts. Many people of Kannauj buy it regularly for the house, while many shopkeepers decorate it in beautiful packing and send it out. This unique confluence of taste, fragrance and tradition has now become a cultural identity of Kannauj. The perfume sesame strip is not only a symbol of taste, but it has also become a part of the legacy and identity of the city.
