How to make Patisa - Soan Papdi Recipe

Hello Friends !!

I'm soni from India and running one food blog. I wanted to share a special recipe of Soan Papdi with you.

Soan papdi is a popular North Indian dessert. It is usually cube-shaped or served as flakes, and has a crisp and flaky texture.

It is made from sugar, gram flour, flour, ghee, milk, and cardamom. Some people are of the opinion that Patisa and Soan Papdi are different things. Patisa is more hard and dark in color, Soan papdi is very soft like fibre or flakes.
