Okay fellow Pau (titaura) fans – I have to share this! Just got my hands on some seriously addictive Pau (तितौरा) imported by Swastik Nepal Products, and my tastebuds are doing a happy dance! If you know, you know – and if you don’t, let me introduce you to the OG of Nepali snacks. 😋
🥭 What is Pau / Titaura?
Titaura is a traditional Nepali snack made from seasonal fruits (usually lapsi, aka Nepali hog plum). The fruit is boiled down, mashed, and mixed with a perfect blend of salt, chilli, sugar, lemon, and spices to create these chewy, tangy, spicy little bites of heaven. There are heaps of variations—some are sweet, some are super sour, and some will blow your head off with spice (in the best way, of course 😅).
🔥 Why I’m Obsessed
Growing up, titaura was that go-to snack for road trips, sneaky school breaks, or just chilling with cousins. It’s that nostalgic flavour bomb that reminds you of home. Now living in Australia, I never thought I’d find that same authentic taste again—until this!
Swastik’s Pau is next level. It’s:
✔️ Spicy without being too much
✔️ A bit sour, but not overpowering
✔️ Just sweet enough to balance everything out
Plus, the texture is on point – chewy and sticky in the best way. Trust me, once you open the packet, it’s game over. You will finish it.
If you haven’t tried it yet and you love bold, punchy flavours, give it a go. Perfect with anything or just on its own.
Let’s be real, no matter how far we are from home, there’s something about that mix of chilli and fruit that hits right in the feels.
