Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed to prepare around 2-3 cups of Shankarpali,
- Maida / all purpose flour - 1 cup. If wheat is preferred then half a cup of wheat flour and half a cup of maida.
- Sugar - 1/2 cup
- Cooking soda - a pinch (optional)
- Cardamom powder - a pinch
- Salt - a pinch
- Ghee - 1 tablespoon
- Water as required for dough
- Oil for deep fry
Preparation Steps
For preparing the dough:
- In a large bowl add flour, a pinch of salt, baking soda,Sugar and cardamom powder. Mix the contents after adding ghee.
- Add water little by little and knead it into a semi soft ball.
- Grease the dough with one teaspoon of oil, close it with a lid and let it rest for ten minutes.
For frying:
- Take a heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep frying and let it heat at low to medium flame.
- Divide the prepared dough into equal sized medium balls.
- Take one of those balls and flatten it into a slightly thick sheet. Keep dusting them with flour as you flatten so that the dough won't stick to the surface.
- Once the sheet is ready, cut them into small diamond shapes using a pizza cutter or knife. For diamond shape, first cut straight lines then diagonal lines.
- Transfer these pieces to a plate.
- Check whether the oil is hot enough and add these pieces.
- Let it fry and give it a mix to cook evenly.
- Once it starts turning brown and the crispness is visible take them out. Place it on a strainer or tissue paper to remove excess oil.
- Repeat the process for remaining balls. You can fry them batch by batch.

Nutritional Value of Shankarpali
Shankarpali, a popular Indian snack often enjoyed during festivals and celebrations, is not only delicious but also boasts a remarkable nutritional value. This tasty treat is primarily made from refined flour, sugar, and a hint of spices, which contribute to its distinctive flavor. When analyzing the nutritional content of Shankarpali, it becomes clear that this snack offers a quick source of energy, thanks to its carbohydrate-rich ingredients. Although primarily a sweet snack, Shankarpali can also provide small amounts of protein and dietary fiber, especially if prepared with whole grain flour. The moderate use of jaggery or sugar can offer essential minerals that add to its nutritional profile while providing a delightful sweetness.
Nutritional Significance and Benefits of Shankarpali
Understanding the nutritional significance of Shankarpali helps to highlight its potential benefits in a balanced diet. One of the key nutritional benefits of Shankarpali is its role in promoting energy levels, making it a suitable snack for active individuals or those needing a quick boost throughout the day. Additionally, when consumed in moderation, Shankarpali can serve as a source of essential nutrients and satisfy sweet cravings without the need for more processed snacks high in artificial additives. Integrating Shankarpali into your diet can also provide cultural and emotional benefits, as it often evokes memories of family gatherings and festive occasions. This traditional treat balances enjoyment with nutrition, making it a delightful, guilt-free indulgence when prepared and consumed mindfully.
