Soan Papdi
It’s a very light and
flaky sweet that is available in almost every sweet shop in India.
Soan papdi (also
known as patisa, san papri, sohan papdi or shonpapdi) is a popular Indian dessert. It is usually
cube-shaped or served as flakes, and has a crisp and flaky texture. It was
traditionally sold loose in a rolled paper cone, but modern industrial
production has led it to be sold in tightly formed cubes.
