Soan Papdi is a traditional Indian sweet made using besan (gram flour), ghee, sugar, cardamom, and other ingredients. The dough is carefully prepared into many layers of fine fibers, and when you place it in your mouth, it gently unravels, releasing a delicate scent of cardamom. This mithai is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of chai or hot milk.
There are various theories about its origin. One theory suggests that soan papdi originated in northern India, particularly in regions such as western Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
