Shakkar Para is a popular Dry Indian snack that is specially made during festivals like Holi & Diwali.
Shakkar Para| Shakkar Pare| Shankarpali| Shakerpara| Khurma is a sweet deep-fried, crispy, crunchy Indian cookie, usually prepared at home during festivals.
They are usually made in diamond/square shape with just a few basic ingredients namely: maida, sugar, ghee or oil.
It can be made in two different ways:-
1) Adding sugar to the dough itself and then deep-frying the diamond pieces
2) Making plain dough, without adding sugar and then coating the diamond-shaped pieces into the sugar syrup after deep frying.
In this recipe, we are going to make the delicious Shakkar Para using the first method i.e. adding the sugar into the dough and then the diamond/square shape pieces are deep-fried until crispy.
Important Tip:-
To make crispy & crunchy Shakkar Para it is very important to take the exact ratios of the ingredients, otherwise, it may become too soft or too hard and may even scatter while frying.
