Shakarpara recipe - Sweet shakarpare recipe - Shankarpali recipe

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and cardamom powder.

Add the ghee or butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

After resting, divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin sheet (about 1/8 inch thick).

Cut the rolled dough into diamond or square shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cut pieces in batches.

Fry the pieces until they turn golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Remove the fried shakarpara and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Allow them to cool completely before serving. They can be stored in an airtight container.
