Notes

  • Firstly, replace maida with wheat flour to prepare a healthy sweet shankarpalli recipe.
  • Additionally, fry on medium flame else, shankarpara will not get cooked from the inside.
  • Furthermore, adding rava makes shakkarpara crispy.
  • Finally, Sweet Shankarpalli / Shankarpara stays good for a month when stored in an airtight container.
