Soan Papdi

Yesterday my friends and me had ordered some pizzas from Papa John's. As we relished upon those pizzas, all of us suddenly had a craving t o have something sweet. And that point struck me about those Soan papdi I had been preserving since I had come from India. So quickly this wonderful delicacy was brought and we had a great time eating them.

I have always been a great fan of this particular sweet known as Sona Papdi. It is made up of gram, sugar flour, flour, ghee (clarified butter), milk and cardamom. It’s an Indian delicacy. It generally has a square shape and has a crisp and flaky texture. I don't really know what to say about it more. But I would like to point out a website where I got a very simple and detailed way of explaining this delicacy.

Make Traditional Soan Papdi:

1. Step1

   Heat ghee in heavy saucepan.

2. Step2

   Combine all purpose flour and gram flour and add to saucepan.

3. Step3

   Stir on low heat until golden brown.

4. Step4

   Remove from heat and let cool, continuing to stir occasionally.

5. Step5

   Combine sugar and water in smaller saucepan and bring to a boil. Then add the milk.

6. Step6

   Strain the mixture when a skin forms on the surface.

7. Step7

   Continue to boil until thick and stringy. The mixture should form two and a half separate threads when pinched.

8. Step8

   Pour the sugar syrup into the flour mixture.

9. Step9

   Beat well until the mixture begins to form flakes.

10. Step10

    Pour onto greased cookie sheet and roll with rolling pin to 1 inch thickness.

11. Step11

12. Step12

13. Step13

    Store in an airtight container. This will make enough for four to eight people.
