About
It is basically a simple sweet dessert snack recipe made with just 3 ingredients i.e. wheat, jaggery, and ghee. However, this sukhdi recipe is slightly extended with a few more additional ingredients like gond, cardamom and also cashews, and almonds. This is typically made in Gujarati cuisine and is typically served for auspicious occasions and festivals. Also compared to other premium dry sweets, it is much simpler to make due to the minimal set of ingredients used in it. The main selling point of this gond pak recipe is its texture. Due to the use of roasted wheat flour mixed with melted jaggery and hot ghee, it gains a crispy or crunchy texture. In addition, when gond crystals are mixed, it elevates the taste and eating experience. In addition, some variations also include a generous topping of finely chopped dry fruits making it more attractive.Step-by-step
