Lacha

A tier

Lacha is a Kashmiri saffron form in longer threads that may retain more of the style portion, giving a slightly different look and sometimes milder concentration than mongra. It still delivers genuine kesar perfume and colour for everyday festive cooking where pure sargol-level trim is less critical. Bundles can look more filamentous and mixed in tone. Use in larger household batches of sweets and rice. Sort out any excessive yellow if you want stronger colour efficiency. Lacha is not inferior cookery—only a different traditional presentation.
