Gulkand (also written gulqand or gulkhand) is a sweet preserve of rose petals originating in the Indian subcontinent.[1] The term is derived from Persian; gul (rose) and qand (sugar/sweet).[2][3]

Preparation

Traditionally, gulkand has been prepared with Damask roses.[4] Other common types of roses used include China rose, French rose, and Cabbage rose.[4] It is prepared using special pink rose petals and is mixed with sugar. Rose petals are slow-cooked with sugar, which reduces the juices into a thick consistency.[5]
