Goan Khaje

Khaje is a festive sweet which is also referred to as Kaddio-Boddio. It is named that way because of its thin and long shape. Goan Khaje is a renowned sweet dish originating centuries ago in Goa, celebrated prominently during traditional festivals like Zatras at Hindu temples and church feasts. This fried sweet treat is crafted from chickpea flour, ginger, jaggery, and sesame seeds, shaped into finger-sized sticks coated with ginger-infused jaggery and sprinkled with sesame seeds. The blend of ginger and jaggery creates a harmonious flavor that delights both as a snack and dessert, evoking nostalgia and enjoyment among all who indulge in its simplicity and deliciousness.
