Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Chickpea Flour (Besan)
- 50 grams Whole Wheat Flour
- 50 grams Low-Fat Ghee
- 50 milliliters Water
- 100 milliliters Low-Fat Milk
- 150 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 2 tablespoons Slivered Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Slivered Pistachios
Instructions
Step 1: In a heavy-bottomed pan, dry roast the chickpea flour and whole wheat flour over a low flame until they emit a nutty aroma and turn a light golden brown. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Stir continuously to avoid burning.
Step 2: In another pan, heat the low-fat ghee and add the roasted flour mixture. Mix well until all the ghee is absorbed, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: In a separate saucepan, combine sugar and water, and bring them to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, then continue to boil until the syrup reaches a two-string consistency.
Step 4: Add the low-fat milk to the syrup and mix well. Pour the syrup mixture gradually into the flour mixture, stirring continuously to ensure no lumps form. Add cardamom powder and blend until smooth.
Step 5: Grease a tray or flat dish with low-fat ghee and pour the mixture into it. Spread evenly.
Step 6: Quickly sprinkle the top with slivered almonds and pistachios, press gently so they stick to the mixture.
Step 7: Allow the mixture to cool and set completely. Once firm, cut into square pieces.
Step 8: Serve and enjoy your homemade, guilt-free Low Fat Soan Papdi!
