Ladoo Experience Box of 12
Ready To Eat
Freezer Friendly
South Asian mithai made by hand in Gaithersburg, MD, where Swaadish by Neelma turns family recipes into a curated ladoo box — 12 pieces across four heirloom varieties, three of each. Inside are Kalakand, soft and snow-white and finished with pistachios; Khoya Pinni, built on whole wheat, khoya, desi ghee, almonds, and chai spice masala; Rose Coconut, fragrant with desiccated coconut and heavy cream; and Saffron Coconut, warm and golden with real saffron. Each ladoo is rolled in small batches with real ghee and ingredients you can pronounce, made fresh every week. It’s the North Indian pinni that rarely travels — packed as a gift for the people you love most.
This package serves 6 people and includes
- 3 Kalakand Ladoos – The beloved taste of kalakand — soft, creamy and melt-in-your-mouth — reimagined as a ladoo. Delicate, white and finished with pistachios. The perfect summer mithai.

Swaadish by Neelma was born in December 2020 out of a simple but deeply personal belief — that South Asian sweets deserve to be celebrated, not compromised.
I am Neelma, born in Iran to Indian parents, and I spent nine years living in London before making Montgomery County, Maryland my home. Food has always been how my family expressed love, and mithai was at the heart of every birthday, every special celebration, every occasion that brought us together. I grew up watching my mother and aunts make mithai by hand — the patience, the care, the way they never once reached for a shortcut. That stayed with me.
When I started Swaadish, I wanted to bring that feeling to others — a gift option that is as beautiful as it is delicious, and one that honors the integrity of our culture while elevating the experience.
Our ladoos are the heart of what we do. Each one is handmade in small batches using recipes passed down from my mother, refined over years of cooking and tweaking to reflect my own palate. I make them with more flavor and less sugar than tradition calls for — because I believe mithai should taste like something, not just be sweet. Every ingredient is real. Real saffron. Pure ghee. Fresh pistachios. No shortcuts, no substitutes.
The Swaadish Ladoo Experience Box brings together four distinct varieties — Besan, Khoya Pinni, Rose Coconut, and Saffron Coconut — each one a different expression of the same philosophy: handcrafted, intentional, and made with pride. We also offer a rotating selection of seasonal South Asian desserts, all held to the same standard.
This is not mass-produced mithai. Every box leaves my kitchen having been touched by hand, made in small batches, and packaged to arrive as a gift worthy of the people you love most.
