Starting week 2 of our month long'Journey Through The Flavors', I am starting with alphabet G. I have a very traditional Winter sweet that is popular in many states by different names.

The Gur Papdi can essentially be labeled under 3 ingredient recipe. All it needs is Ghee, wheat flour and jaggery. The other flavorings and toppings are used based on preferences and can be used as needed.

What is Gur Papdi

Gur Papdi or Gol Papdi as it called in Gujarat is also known as Sukhdi in the Sindhi cuisine. It is prepared mainly during the winter months to keep the body warm. It is so simple to make and takes only 15 minutes from start to finish.

I am a big fan of burfis and this has a very addictive flavor and beautiful crumble in the mouth texture.

The boys are still home and it was a perfect time to make a small batch of the Sukhdi. My older one ate a piece and said that it was interesting. But, my little one though, liked it a lot and I saw him come back for one more piece. My husband also loved it and the 9 pieces that I made disappeared by night.

Notes

Expert tips and FAQ's

  • Ensure that you fry the wheat flour in low heat or else it could burn. 
  • Make sure to mix the jaggery to the fried wheat flour when it is off the heat and warm. 
  • It takes a couple of attempt to get the right texture, but either way, the flavor is amazing.
  • Lastly, do make enough to get around. It disappears rather quickly!!

      I am not sure if that would work. The mixture needs to be warm when you add the jaggery.

    Hi Sandhya, thank you for sharing this recipe of Golpapdi. I used to have it during my hostel days when a Gujarati friend of mine used to get it. I remembered about it yesterday and was keen on trying it out. It came out probably exactly the same taste.
    Thanks again

    I followed the recipe to the T but my gur papdi became very dry and crumbly? I tried it twice and both times it was the same. Where did I go wrong?

      Fatima, I am sorry that the Gur papdi turned out dry. The texture depends highly on the kind of jaggery. Maybe try using a different jaggery brand. Also you could add a tsp or so of milk to help bind, but make sure you store it in the refrigerator because it van spoil quicker.

    Hello Sandhya, that's a mouth watering burfi recipe. My kids are fond of delectable sweets. I usually make grated coconut burfi. For a change I was searching for a different variety and stumbled across yours. Loved the recipe, my kids enjoyed it a lot. I am planning to make the same on my husbands birthday.

    Gol pappadi looks delicious, which jaggery you use, I always strain jaggery before adding it as it has dirt in it.

    oh ! u r choosing the classic sweets and making it so well. I have wonderfully failed at making this 3 times over, and must muster courage to try your recipe and method. Perhaps sweets elude me 🙂 instead i shall pop over to ur place and nibble on this.. I have seen another version with khus khus (poppy seeds) sprinkled on the greased pan before pouring the cooked jaggery - ghee - flour mixture

    Sukhdi is my fav Gujarati sweet and the fact it only needs three ingredients is what makes it more alluring.

    Perfectly made God Papdi. The trick to this sweet is to switch off the flame before adding jaggery, else the papdi gets hard. Seriously I feel like picking a piece to enjoy this such a well made sweet from my very own state Gujrat.

    That sounds very authentic Sandhya. I tasted this at our local temple during a festival when a Gujarati meal was served. Loved it and asked the Gujarati lady who made it for the temple. She gave me the same recipe as above without the almond garnish. Superb!
