Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick in Bhowanipur (Kolkata) was established a century ago with only a handful of people and vision for perfection. But now it has emerged into a small scale industry and the best mithai shop of 2009 and 2010.(Times Of India )

Though they emphasise on constant innovation they do not do away with the heritage of Bengali confectionery. The recipe of each item has been kept unchained through all these years. The legendary sweets like sorrabri, sor bhaja, kachagolla, abarkhabo sandesh, mihidana, sitabhog, patisapta, lal misti doi, rossomalai and our most famous chanar payesh are still prepared the same way it was used to be prepared a century ago with the exactly same procedure utensils following the same recipes. They still follow the old age procedures, ingredients, and the original recipes that have been passed from one generation to the other.

Trademark Bengali utensils like lohar petano kadai and kather taroo ( long wooden spatula 4 feet long made of shegun and saal wood ) are used to make sandesh. Fuel like charcoal is being still used to make some rare delicacies to give that subtle flavour. Pantua, darbesh, lancha, and above mentioned mihidana, sitabhog and all fried items are fried in desi ghee to give that royal taste.

They give keen importance on procuring their raw materials and ingredients because it is the major aspect which decides the quality of the finished products. Compromise is never made on quality. Only branded materials or reliable old suppliers are entertained at this organisation. All the ingredients are always used fresh. Fruit pulps and pieces are used to make different varieties of sweets. Artificial colours and flavours are mostly avoided to maintain the hygienic value of all the products. Exotic fruits like alphanso, kiwi, Australian grapes, peaches, passion fruits, watermelons jackfruit, custard apples, lichies, Dargeeling oranges & tangerines are used in seasons to make some of our famous delicacies.

The mangodoi is one of the most praised item made of fruit at this shop.
