Masque
Chefs Varun Totlani and Dej Kewkacha have collaborated on Rangoli, Masque’s festive mithai collection, resulting in sweets designed as thoughtful gifts celebrating light, colour, and festivity. Inspired by the vibrant hues and artistry of traditional rangoli, the boxes are available in two colourways: pink and green and feature four distinctive flavours: Matcha Coconut, Raspberry Rose, Tamarind Chilli, Hazelnut Chocolate, alongside two vegan options: Orange Dark Chocolate and Passion Fruit Dark Chocolate. Each flavour is curated to offer a modern interpretation of festive sweets, balancing richness, acidity and spice. Rangoli comes in 250g (Rs3,150) and 350g (Rs4,200) boxes, with corporate order options and customisation available for minimum order quantities. Pre-orders can be placed here.
Hatti & Giraffe
At Hatti & Giraffe, childhood memories shape the festive table. The Balushahi Bites (Rs1,470 for 18 pieces; Rs945 for 8) are a nostalgic nod to founder Shrikar Bhave’s childhood, when his father would occasionally bring home the crisp, syrupy treat. Slightly crispier than he remembers and made bite-sized, these sweets invite indulgence without waiting for a special occasion. The Karanji Bon Bon (Rs1,470 for 18 pieces; Rs945 for 8) reimagines the traditional karanji in a delicate, bite-sized form as well. Baked for flakier pastry and lightly sweetened coconut filling, each piece carries a generous layer of care and nostalgia, designed to be savoured in every pop. These festive treats are shipped pan-India and have a shelf life of 15 days, and can be booked through their website.
