papdA traditional dessert made with wheat flour,ghee and Jaggary

Golpapdi or Gur papdi is a popular dessert or sweet from Gujarat which is specially made during winter. Golpapdi is also popular in Sindhi community as sukhdi and in my home town Mathura we call this –kasaar.It is quite an easy recipe which is great as a dessert,a healthy recipe for kids lunchbox and good as a travel food and have a long shelf life .

A good amount of ghee, jaggary, dry fruits and sesame seeds goes into it which gives warmth and energy to our body,sesame seeds and nuts are very good for health as they are rich in calcium ,fat and minerals.You can also add warm spices and herbs into it like nutmeg powder,dry ginger powder,clove powder, gund, dry grated coconut etc according to your choice.

I have made the simple basic version but you can adjust it as per your choice.It is also a great post natal food and be given to new mothers .
