Shankarpali is a traditional Indian sweet snack, popular during festivals like Diwali. These bite-sized, diamond-shaped treats are made from a simple dough of flour, sugar, ghee (clarified butter), and milk, which is rolled out and cut into small pieces before being deep-fried to a golden brown. Crispy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside, Shankarpali offers a perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. With its melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich, buttery flavor, Shankarpali is a delightful snack to enjoy with tea or coffee and makes for a wonderful addition to festive snack platters.
