Description
If your biryani smells like biryani and not just spiced rice, kewra water is part of the reason. The floral lift in the final layer - that's pandan.
Hemani Kewra Water is distilled from Pandanus tectorius flowers - the South Asian floral water called kewra that provides the signature top-note aroma in dum biryani, zarda sweet rice, gulab jamun syrup, and traditional Mughlai desserts. It's the same role that rose water plays in Persian and Turkish cooking - a floral finish that elevates without overpowering.
The flavor profile is distinctly different from rose water: kewra is greener, slightly grassy, with a floral sweetness that reads as 'biryani' to anyone raised on South Asian food. A few drops in the final biryani layering layer - added when you pour over the dum - carries through the entire pot. Too much overpowers; the right amount makes the dish smell like a wedding feast.
Alcohol-free - critical for Muslim households that use kewra in both cooking and as a skin fragrance mist. Hemani's kewra water is pure pandanus extract without alcohol carriers, making it safe for all applications. Glass bottle ensures no plastic flavor transfer into your cooking water.
Hemani since 1949. Halal certified. GMP-certified production.
