Gol papdi or Sukhadi is a Gujrati traditional sweet prepared specially in winter. There are different versions to make this sweet but I made the simple version of it. It is a very healthy sweet for kids and new moms. The perfect blend of wheat flour and jaggery with the flavor of cardamom makes a unique healthy treat.
