Khadak Naashta

In every Indian household, there's that one dad's friend who shows up unannounced at 9 AM on a Sunday — "Bas guzar raha tha, socha chai pee loon."

Three hours later, he's still there. Because when the breakfast spread comes out, puris puffing up in hot oil, debates over whether the halwa needs more ghee (it always does), naashta becomes something bigger than a meal.

Bandmaster Raees, one of the People of Khadak, knows this rhythm well. Pre-wedding, before the baraat arrives, he seeks out breakfast spreads that feel like a feast—the kind where Chole-Halwa Puri, Akuri Pao, and endless rounds of chai stretch across the table.

This menu is our tribute to that morning ritual. The one that turns breakfast into an occasion.
