Nakuldana is an Indian traditional sugar-based confectionery. The small-sized white product has a non-smooth external surface (Figure 1.7.1). The major use of this product is for religious purposes, or consumed along with puffed rice. The other names are ram dana, elach dana, and elachi dana. The advantages of the product are the simple method of preparation, the characteristics of easy melting in the mouth, the low cost of the product, and a long shelf-life if protected from moisture ingress.
