Shankarpali is a popular Indian sweet snack that is often enjoyed during the festive season of Diwali. These crispy, buttery cookies are made with a simple dough of flour, ghee, sugar, and cardamom powder. The dough is rolled out thin and cut into diamond shapes before being baked until golden brown. Shankarpali is a versatile snack that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, ghee, sugar, and cardamom powder. Mix well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add water to the mixture, a little at a time, and knead until a soft dough forms.
  3. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
  4. Roll out each portion of dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
  5. Cut the dough into diamond shapes using a sharp knife.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  7. Place the shankarpali on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool completely before serving.
  10. Tips:
  11. For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of butter.
  12. To make the shankarpali extra crispy, roll out the dough very thin.
  13. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
  14. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
  15. You can store the shankarpali in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
