Sukhadi | Gol papdi | Gur papdi
Crafted with just three ingredients, this genuine Gujarati sweet, Sukhdi, is not only flavorful and delicious but also boasts a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. It is also referred to as Gur Papdi or Gol Papdi.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (atta) (120 grams)
- ½ cup Ghee 100 grams
- ½ cup Jaggery (100 grams) (grated or powdered)
- chopped almonds, rose petals and silver vark or garnishing Optional
Instructions
- First, prepare the tray, plate, or thali to set the sukhdi. Grease the tray (bottom and sides) well with a little bit of ghee. I have used a 7x5x1 inch rectangular tray.
- Take the ghee in a pan. Turn the heat on low-medium.
- Once the ghee is melted and gets slightly hot, add wheat flour (atta).
- Keeping the heat low, slow roast the atta, while stirring constantly with a spatula.
- Continue to stir evenly and break the lumps that will form initially. It will start to loosen up a bit.
- Keep stirring continuously on low heat. After about 10 minutes, the flour will start to loosen up and become light and fluffy.
- Continue roasting for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the flour turns light golden brown. At this stage the ghee will start to separate, filling the kitchen with a delightful aroma.
- I roasted the atta for around 18 minutes on low heat until it had a nice and light golden color.
- Turn off the heat. Be cautious at this stage and remove the pan from the stove quickly. Keep stirring the mixture for 1 minute. This will avoid the atta from being overcooked.
- Then add grated or powdered jaggery. It will start to melt right away. Quickly mix it until the jaggery is fully combined.
- Immediately pour into the prepared plate, even out the surface using the back of the spatula or back of the steel glass or katori.
- Let it cool down slightly, about 10 minutes. While it is still warm, Slice into the desired shape and size. I cut it into 12 square pieces.
- Garnish it with almonds, rose petals, and silver vark (this step is completely optional).
- Let it cool for about 30 minutes.
- Store it in an airtight container. This sweet stays good up to 15 days. Enjoy!
