🌹 Everyone Talks About Mango. Nobody Talks About This One.

Pune has no shortage of Mastani flavours. But ask most people to name one beyond Mango or Kesar, and they'll draw a blank.

That's Gulkand Mastani's problem — and Pune's loss. Because this is one of the most distinct flavours Khatri Bandhu makes, and it's been quietly sitting on the menu since the brand's early years.

🌸 What Gulkand Actually Is

Gulkand is a rose petal preserve — fresh rose petals slow-cooked with sugar until they turn into a thick, fragrant jam. It's been a staple in Indian households for generations, most commonly known through paan.

Khatri Bandhu folds that same gulkand into thick, milk-based ice cream. That's where the soft pink colour comes from — no artificial flavouring, no shortcuts.

🥤 Why It's Different From Every Other Mastani

Mango, Kesar, Sitafal — they all lean on fruit. Gulkand Mastani doesn't. It's floral, lightly sweet, and finished with crushed dry rose petals on top for aroma and texture.

If you grew up with paan or rose-based sweets at home, the first spoon will feel instantly familiar — in a way fruit Mastanis don't.

And unlike Mango, this one isn't seasonal. It works all year.

🧊 How It's Made

Built the same way every Khatri Bandhu Mastani is built:

Buffalo milk, boiled down to half its volume for a thick, creamy base

Real gulkand folded in — not rose essence, not syrup

Hardened the traditional way for that dense, scoopable texture

Topped with dry rose petals for the final aroma

Same process. Same standards. Since 1989.

⭐ Who This Mastani Is For

If you love paan, rooh afza, or rose-based Indian sweets

If fruit Mastanis feel too intense or too sweet for you

If you're picking something for a festive or gifting occasion — the colour alone makes it a natural fit

📍 Where to Find It

Available across Khatri Bandhu outlets in Pune, Solapur, Latur, Nashik, and Nanded — or order online via Swiggy and Zomato.
