Gol papadi is a traditional sweet recipe made especially during winter months. The combination of gol/ jaggery and wheat flour makes for a yummy sweet treat to snack on. This sweet is also known as sukhadi or gur papadi. It only requires a few ingredients yet is still flavorful and tasty. It is very quick and easy to make and the more ghee you use, the softer consistency you will get. I learned this recipe from my mom and today I am sharing this recipe with you all.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup finely chopped almond (optional)
1/2 cup ghee
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup gol/ jaggery (finely cut or shredded)
1 teaspoon melted ghee (to grease plate/ thali)
Directions:
- On low flame, melt ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add flour, stair continuously and saute until it turns light brown in color and a sweet aroma is present.
- Remove the pan from the stove and add 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir and then add the jaggery and chopped almonds. Stir for an additional three to four minutes until the gol melts and ghee separates.
- Immediately pour the mixture into a greased plate (thali). Spread and press evenly with the base of small bowl/ varka.
- While still warm, mark deep cuts of square or diamond shapes into the mixture. Cool for an hour.
- Once set, remove the pieces with a steel spatula. Store in an airtight container.
Note: By adding a little milk, the sukhadi will be very soft and tastier too. The texture will be like the famous Mahudi version - Tirth's Sukhdi.
