Behind our name
Malida is a traditional ceremony celebrated by our founder’s community. It’s a way to give thanks for joyful milestones—births, weddings, good health and success, and other significant moments. The namesake dish served at the ceremony is made from crumbled rotis or pounded rice, then sweetened with jaggery or sugar. Cardamom, coconut, raisins, and nuts are often added to malida. Topped with rose petals and served alongside five fruits, the malida platter represents harmony of color, texture, scent, and flavor.
