Originating from Bihar—especially Silao in Nalanda district—this Khaja is a legendary layered pastry with origins tracing back over 2000 years. Silao Khaja, famously multi-layered and GI‑tagged, is celebrated for its crisp flakiness, achieved by folding dough with ghee and deep‑frying before soaking in warm sugar syrup. Enjoy this iconic festive sweet as a nostalgic dessert or meaningful gift reflecting Magadh’s rich culinary heritage.
