Shakarpara – also known as Shankarpali is a famous bite-size Indian snack that’s a MUST on the festival of Holi/Diwali. They are fried hand then dipped in a sugar syrup to coat them evenly. My recipe is extremely easy to follow and makes 30 small snacks. So this Holi, try this Indian snack and enjoy with your loved ones.

Make the Chashni – Sugar Syrup

Shaping the Shakarpara / Shankarpali:
Using Supda Method (Wooden Slate): Using Fork Method: I have made this recipe millions of times (okay maybe hundreds which feel like forever) using these two methods but my favorite is the Fork method as it gives a more definite and prominent shape. The fork method ones hold up well even after being dipped in sugar syrup.
