Mishtanna was founded to preserve the character of regional sweets such as Dharwad Pedha and make the flavours of Karnataka easier to discover across India.
Every sweet in the Mishtanna collection carries its own place, ingredients and tradition. Dharwad, Mysore, Belgaum and Gokak each bring a distinct Karnataka story, while Kaju Katli adds a familiar cashew classic.
We keep each sweet’s name, regional connection and defining ingredients clear, so you know what you are choosing and where the tradition comes from.
Sweets of South brings the collection together while allowing every sweet to keep its own flavour, texture and regional identity.
In the historic town of Dharwad in Karnataka, a humble sweet made from slow-cooked milk has captured hearts for generations. Dharwad Pedha is known for its deep caramelized flavour, grainy texture, and the craftsmanship required to prepare it just right. For decades, this delicacy remained closely tied to its place of origin. Those who travelled through Dharwad carried boxes home as treasured gifts, while many others only heard stories about its unmistakable taste. Mishtanna began as the vision of Adarsh Mutha, a passionate admirer of India’s rich tradition of sweets. Over the years, he noticed that many regional sweets were loved locally but rarely travelled far beyond their hometowns. Dharwad Pedha, despite its legendary reputation, was still difficult for many sweet lovers across the country to experience. Driven by the desire to share this iconic delicacy with a wider audience, Adarsh founded Mishtanna.
The collection is led by Dharwad Pedha and includes four complementary favourites with their own ingredients, textures and regional associations.
Dharwad Pedha is an iconic GI-tagged Karnataka sweet, handcrafted with slow-cooked milk solids, traditional khoa, and caramelized sugar crystals.
Mysore Paak is a luscious traditional sweet from Karnataka, handcrafted with chickpea flour, rich ghee, milk solids, sugar, and fragrant cardamom.
Belgaum Kunda is a delectable North Karnataka sweet crafted from condensed milk, khowa, caramelized sugar, and cardamom garnished with nuts.

Kaju Katli is a quintessential diamond-shaped Indian sweet made from ground cashews, sugar, and cardamom, adorned with edible silver leaf.
