Kewra water, also called kewra essence or kevda water, is a fragrant Indian floral water, in the tradition of rose water, extracted from the flowers of Pandanus tectorius. Kewra water is better known in Southeast Asia as pandan leaf extract. Reputedly a favourite of the Mughal emperors, the use of floral waters in foods has always been considered luxurious and they are often used to celebrate special occasions, such as weddings or religious events.

Kewra water has a distinctive floral perfume and only a little is needed to scent a dish. Use kewra to add fragrance to spiced rice dishes, such as pulaos or biriyanis, or use it to impart a special flavour to home-made lemonade or refreshing yoghurt lassi.

Ingredients: Water, kewra extract (0.2%), preservative: potassium sorbate (E202)
