Sukhdi is an Indian sweet made from wheat flour and jaggery in ghee. Sukhdi is a staple snack like biscuits available in most of the Gujarati households. It is also cooked on auspicious days or on festivals. Originally from Gujarat, it is also cooked in Rajasthan.
Sukhdi is made from Ghee (clarified butter), wheat flour and jaggery. The wheat flour is roasted in an ample amount of ghee till it turns aromatic and brownish. Grated jaggery, in an equal amount of flour, is added to the mixture after removing the pan from the heat, and stirred to make a mixture that is transferred to a plate to set. After making the level of the mixture, pieces are created.
So let's jump to the recipe:
