About Mithai Soan Papdi
Mithai is the name PRAN puts on soan papdi, the flaky spun-sugar and gram-flour sweet eaten across the subcontinent and given as a gift at festivals. The company sells eight variants of it: cardamom, pistachio, cashew, a cashew and pistachio blend, strawberry, chocolate, a plain Indian dessert pack and a large family box. It is listed under local ethnic snacks rather than confectionery in PRAN's own directory.
