Gol papdi or sukhdi is Gujrati sweet made with whole wheat flour, ghee, and jaggery (AKA gol ot gur). Nut and gond are commonly added to make this sweet more nutritious and flavorful. It is a winter specialty loved by Gujrati communities all over the world.

INGREDIENTS
You need just 5 basic ingredients for this recipe and all others are add-ins that raise it to a gourmet level. You can get all ingredients from an Indian Store.
Whole Wheat flour: Use atta flour for this recipe.
Ghee: This is clarified butter.
Jaggery: It is solid and concentrated sugar cane juice, it is not processed hence pretty healthy. Check here!
Cardamom: This is basically for aroma, and you can switch this with saffron alone or vanilla. Vanilla will give a very granola-like aroma. I would never add vanilla.
Gond: Gond katira is considered the best gond. Generally, the lighter the color of the edible (that is whitish tone and not orangish or brownish) the better it is.
