Pravin – The farmer from Ambajogai enhanced knowledge about Shri Yogeshwari Sweet Home (situated at the entrance gate of Shree Yogeshwari temple) and Ambajogai’s famous Kalma Khoya Barfi.

Finally, before leaving Ambajogai, I visited the shop and had talks with the shop owner about the available sweets.

The shop owner (with a big smile) showed two types of Khoya Barfi – one is with less sugar, i.e, Kalma Khoya Barfi (Rs. 400 per kg), and the other one is Plain Khoya Barfi (Rs. 280 per kg) with a little extra sugar.

There was Pista Barfi available too for Rs. 320 per kg.

Kalma Khoya Barfi was started by/prepared by the shop owner’s late father years ago.

Why was it named Kalma?

The shop owner said – not sure but maybe because father was good at making Kalakand – another mouth-watering Indian sweet.

And how old is your shop?

The shop is 100 years old – open at 8 in the morning and closes at 8 at night.

I purchased half a kg – Kalma Khoya Barfi for Rs. 200.

Immediately, I had 4-5 Kalma Khoya Barfi. The flavour was very nice on the tongue, especially because there was less sugar.

I was told by the shop owner, Kalma Khoya Barfi is only available in his shop, nowhere else.

I hope readers reading will surely have/taste Kalma Khoya Barfi whenever they visit Ambajogai.
