Hemant Lalwani / Pali:- Although Pali is known as a textile hub, it is also known abroad for a special type of halwa. Talking about Marwar, if Gulab Halwa is not on the plate, then the festival seems incomplete. The demand for this halwa made from milk and sugar increases even more during the festive season. There is a shop here which is more than 40 years old, named Chain Ji Ka Halwa. Their halwa is famous not only in the country but also abroad. People come here looking for a shop named Chain Ji Ka Halwa. This shop named Chain Ji Ka Halwa near Vyas Colony of Pali city is very famous and people do not forget the taste of the halwa here.
Business is more than 20 crores
The secret of the recipe of Gulab Halwa is just the timing of cooking it with milk, sugar and a little cardamom. The climate of Pali and the skill of the local artisans are also important for its taste. Whoever tastes it once, cannot stop himself from tasting it again. That is why Gulab Halwa, which is on everyone’s tongue, is doing a business of more than 20 crores annually today.
This is how rose halwa was invented
Moolchand Kastia’s shop is located near Jain Market in Pali’s inner market, where Pali’s famous halwa was invented. About 60 years ago, Moolchand Kastia had a sweet shop near Jain Market, the inner market of the city. At that time only rabri was made there. Gulab Puri also worked there. Many times milk was left over, to use it, one day he added sugar to it and started cooking it on low flame. When the milk turned into mawa, its color became maroon. After this, it was kept for cooling. When I tasted it, its taste was different and good. This is where the story of making Gulab Halwa started. From then, gradually Gulab Halwa shops started opening one after the other in Pali.

Halwa sells for this much
The traders here work very hard to make Gulab Halwa, the result of which is that its taste has won people’s hearts. People even get it packed and take it with them. Due to its normal cost, its retail price is also the same as that of a normal sweet. This is the reason why this halwa with a wonderful taste is accessible from common man to the elite. Different brands in the market sell it for 280 to 300 rupees per kg.
