What families actually buy
Sold in 200 g, 500 g and 1 kg. Many families build their forty days from two or three of these together, which is the honest way to eat through forty days. Pregnancy laddus, gift boxes and the feeding-stage range are all in the shop too.

Four kitchens, not one shelf
What a body needs in the first week after delivery is not what it needs at day thirty, and neither is what it needs while carrying. The range is built the way the tradition is.

The forty days
What is eaten when, and why it was decided that way
Jaapa — the postpartum confinement period — is not a diet, it's a sequence. The order matters more than any single food — the body is asked to do different work in week one than in week five. This is the order as it was kept in Rajasthani households, and the order we pack to.
| Days | What is given | Why, traditionally | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–7 | Harira, ajwain, haldi हरीरा · अजवाइन · हल्दी | Thin, warm and digestible. The first week asks for nothing heavy — ajwain and haldi are given for warmth and to settle the stomach while everything else is still sore. | ₹490 |
| 8–21 | Gond giri laddu गोंद गिरी लड्डू | The strength laddu, and the one every mother-in-law names. Gond is held to support the joints and the back; it is started only once the first week has passed and richness can be handled. | ₹490 |
| 8–21 | Dana methi laddu दाना मेथी लड्डू | Fenugreek, the confinement tonic. Given alongside gond through the middle weeks, traditionally for the back and the uterus. | ₹485 |
| 22–40 | Battisa laddu बत्तीसा लड्डू | Thirty-two herbs — the name is the recipe. The most concentrated thing in the jaapa kitchen, which is exactly why it is kept for the later weeks rather than the first. | ₹495 |
| 22–40 | Nari kalyan panjiri नारी कल्याण पंजीरी | Coconut and whole spices, loose rather than rolled, so it can be stirred into milk on the days chewing a laddu is one thing too many. | ₹450 |
| 40+ | Ragi & multigrain laddu रागी · मल्टीग्रेन | Once the forty days close, the food changes job: from recovery to sustaining a year of feeding. Lighter, grain-led, made to be eaten daily without tiring of it. | ₹490 |
Households differ, and so do doctors. Your family may start gond in week one or hold it to week three — both are normal. If you are recovering from a caesarean, or managing blood pressure or diabetes, ask your doctor before starting any of this.
The whole forty days
One box, packed in the order the days go
Most families order one laddu, finish it, then work out what comes next in the middle of the hardest month of their lives. The forty-day box removes that. Everything arrives at once, labelled by phase, in the quantities the sequence actually needs.
| Phase | Packed | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1–7 | Harira, ajwain, haldi हरीरा | 500 g |
| 8–21 | Gond giri laddu गोंद गिरी | 1 kg |
| 8–21 | Dana methi laddu दाना मेथी | 500 g |
| 22–40 | Battisa laddu बत्तीसा | 1 kg |
| 22–40 | Nari kalyan panjiri पंजीरी | 300 g |
Contents and weights vary slightly with what is packed on the day.

Being straight with you
What a laddu cannot do
- Heal a caesarean
- Replace your iron tablets
- Guarantee your milk supply
- Give you results on a schedule
- Know your medical history
What it can do is put warm, real food in front of a woman who has not had a full night's sleep in three weeks and has nobody left to cook for her.
Tradition is a record of what families did — it is not a clinical trial, and we are not going to dress it up as one. We do not promise results at week one, week four or week forty, because nobody honestly can.
These are foods, not medicine. If a doctor has told you to avoid ghee, gond, fenugreek or jaggery, listen to the doctor and not to us.
What clinicians have said about the formulations
The recipe comes from a family that has cooked it for three generations. The clips below are practitioners talking about the formulations, unscripted, in their own clinics. We kept the two separate on purpose — neither pretends to be the other, and neither is a claim that any doctor has approved this page.
The recipe
Growing up, I always saw my mother and grandmother use food as medicine. Maa Mitahara was born from that vision — rooted in tradition, and today we serve thousands, with this being just the beginning.
Isha Gupta ईशा गुप्ता
Co-founder of Maa Mitahara in Jaipur, speaking in the founder video on
maamitahara.com/pages/about-us
Mitahara means eating by measure. Our grandmothers counted the days, weighed the gond, and knew which laddu belonged to which week. We wrote it down.
These are unscripted clips, not paid endorsements dressed up as reviews — which is also why we're not going to sit a "5,000+ reviews" badge next to them that nothing on this site can account for.

Every review we receive, verified against an order. Battisa is bitter and some people hate it — the reviews say so, and we're not going to hide that.

Nine words your grandmother used, written down
Every one of these was passed on by mouth, which is how the reasons got lost and the recipes got shortened. Here is what each one is, and what it has traditionally been given for. Nothing here is a medical claim — it is a record of practice.
Gond
गोंदEdible tree gum, crystallised, then puffed in ghee until it turns light.
The single most named postpartum food in North India. Traditionally given from the second week for strength in the back and joints.
Gond giri ladduBattisa
बत्तीसाThirty-two herbs and roots, ground together. Battis is the number thirty-two.
The most concentrated preparation in the jaapa kitchen, kept for the later weeks. Bitter by nature — a recipe that tastes of nothing has left things out.
Battisa ladduDana methi
दाना मेथीWhole fenugreek seed, soaked and roasted to take the bitterness down.
Given through the middle weeks, traditionally for the back and the uterus. Also long associated with milk supply.
Dana methi ladduSaunth
सौंठDried ginger, the warming spice of the confinement kitchen.
Given for warmth and digestion in the days when everything else is too heavy. The base of most jaapa preparations.
Saunth jaapa ladduPanjiri
पंजीरीA loose roasted mixture rather than a rolled laddu — coconut, nuts and whole spices.
Eaten by the spoon or stirred into warm milk, for the days when chewing a laddu is one thing too many.
Nari kalyan panjiriAjwain
अजवाइनCarom seed, sharp and hot, used from day one.
The first-week food. Traditionally given for digestion and warmth before anything rich is introduced.
Ajwain ladduHaldi
हल्दीTurmeric, in ghee rather than water, which is how it has always been taken here.
Given across the whole forty days, traditionally for healing and recovery.
Haldi ladduHarira
हरीराA warm drink of ghee, jaggery and spice — the very first thing served after delivery.
Made on day one in most households. Thin, warm, and asks nothing of the body.
Harira mixRagi
रागीFinger millet, also called nachni. Ground and roasted, naturally gluten-free.
The food of the long months after the forty days close, when the job changes from recovery to sustaining a year of feeding.

Story
A mother and a daughter in Jaipur
How the recipes got written down before they were lost.
Before you order
When should I start gond ke laddu after delivery?
Traditionally from the second week, around day eight, once the first week has passed and the body can handle something rich. Households differ — some families start gond in week one, others hold it to week three, and both are normal. After a caesarean, ask your doctor first.
How many laddus a day?
One to two for most mothers, usually with warm milk in the morning or in the evening. Each product page states the size, the count per pack and roughly how long a pack lasts.
Is there refined sugar in these?
No. Sweetness comes from jaggery, dates and figs. There is no refined sugar and no preservative in anything we make, which is why every pack carries its own best-before date rather than a generic one.
Are these safe while breastfeeding?
These are foods, not medicine, and they are the foods traditionally eaten while feeding. If your doctor has asked you to avoid ghee, gond, fenugreek or jaggery, follow your doctor. Fenugreek in particular is worth raising with them if you are on any medication.
Will this replace my iron tablets?
No. Nothing here replaces prescribed supplements or medication. Keep taking what you have been prescribed, and treat this as food alongside it.
Do you have anything nut-free?
Most of the range contains tree nuts, and all of it is made in a kitchen that handles nuts. Each product page lists its own allergens. If there is a nut allergy in the house, message us before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether we have anything for you.
Can I send this as a gift to a new mother?
Yes, and most forty-day box orders are sent by family rather than bought by the mother. Give us the delivery address, add a note at checkout, and we write it on the box by hand.
Where do you deliver, and how long does it take?
Pan-India from Jaipur. Orders over ₹999 ship free, and the forty-day boxes ship free anywhere. Metro addresses usually receive in two to four working days; other pin codes take a little longer.
Tell us the day. We'll tell you what to send.
Most people messaging us are ordering for a daughter, a sister or a daughter-in-law and have no idea where to start. That's the normal case, not the awkward one.
