Soan Papdi,is flaky Indian dessert available,all over the country.Though it is made and available in so many flavor but i personally prefer the regular one:)

  • Cook time:
  • Prep time:
  • Yields: make small 15-20 pieces

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cup sugar

  • For Garnish:
  • almonds and pistachios bits
Method
1.

In a large deep pan,heat ghee,on a medium flame toast flours until light brown and immediately transfer to another bowl to stop further heating.

2.

In another deep pan,make sugar syrup by dissolving sugar in water until you get, 2 1/2 thread consistency.

3.

Mix syrup in bowl with toasted flour,beat until it forms flakes,pour into a greased dish.(my mom use little big wooden fork ,which she specially brought for son papdi only)

4.

Pat it down into 1 inch thickness,cool for at least half hour,mean while sprinkle chopped nuts and pat lightly,cut into pieces .

NOTE:
Sugar syrup will form a ball when dropped in cold water and when removed from the water can be easily flattened.Getting a correct syrup consistency is one of the most important step.

What I saw at Buxar in Bihar was quite different process - very tedious and lengthy. Ingredients were the same and were cooked till the mixture was very thick..The cooked mixture was hung on a peg and pulled repeatedly till it turned into fine thread. Finer the threads, higher the quality. It was then spread into a large platter, pressed lightly and cut into squares. It is very popular in Bengal.

I've bought this in a local Indian grocery twice -- once it was delicious and fresh; the second time it was dried out and unpleasant. Is there a bakery in the USA that makes it fresh, from scratch? More particularly, is there a bakery in the Seattle area that makes it fresh? Thanks for this excellent website. :-P
