Soan papdi (also known as san papri, shompapri, sohan papdi, shonpapdi or patisa) is a popular dessert in the Indian subcontinent. The term soan or sohan is not to be confused with Persian term sohān which is totally unrelated. It bears some resemblance to the Dragon's beard candy in China, Klul-tarae in Korea, Persian pashmaki, which gave rise to the Turkish pişmaniye. It is usually cube-shaped or served as flakes, and has a crisp and flaky texture. Traditionally sold loose in rolled paper cones, modern industrial production has led it to being sold in the form of tightly formed cubes.
Ingredients
Its main ingredients are sugar, gram flour, flour, ghee, almond, milk, and cardamom.
