Soan papdi

Media: Soan papdi

Soan papdi (Bengali: শন পাপডি় śan pāpṛi, Hindi: सोन/सन पापड़ी son/sohan pāpṛī), also known as san papri, shompapri, sohan papdi, shonpapdi is a popular dessert in the Indian subcontinent. It is made of gram flour (besan), all-purpose flour, ghee, sugar and milk. It is usually cube-shaped or served as flakes, and has a crisp and flaky texture. Traditionally sold loose in rolled paper cones, modern industrial production has led to it being sold in the form of tightly formed cubes.

Origin

Soan Papdi has no confirmed origin, but it is believed to have originated in the western state of Maharashtra, India. According to culinary anthropologist Kurush F Dalal, Soan papdi is a Persian dish, the word "soan" has a Persian origin and the name comes from the term sohan pashmaki. San Papdi as is it's called in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, "san" means fibres that the sweet contains. Other speculation ranges from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab to West Bengal. It bears some resemblance to the Dragon's beard candy in China, Kkul-tarae in Korea, and Persian pashmaki, which gave rise to the Turkish pişmaniye.

Ingredients

Its main ingredients are sugar, gram flour, flour, ghee, almond, milk, and cardamom.
