Gud Papdi is an easy to make sweet from the Gujarati cuisine. It is made with minimum ingredients that are easily available in every kitchen. Gud Papdi holds a special place in Gujarati culture and is commonly prepared during winters. With its nutritious components, it serves as a perfect winter indulgence to combat the cold weather.
Also known as Sukhdi, this is traditionally made with only three ingredients, i.e., wheat flour, ghee and jaggery. However, I have added cardamom powder, poppy seeds and powdered nuts to enhance its taste.

About Gud Papdi
Gud Papdi is a delicious, nutritious sweet made with whole wheat flour, jaggery and nuts. Though it is traditionally made in winters, nothing stops you from making and relishing this sweet whenever you desire. As and when time permits, I like to make and store a small batch of Gud Papdi to satiate my sweet tooth.
Gud Papdi makes for a healthy snack. I know of many Gujaratis who carry Gud Papdi with them when they travel overseas. Gud Papdi has a good shelf life, is convenient to carry and hence it makes for an ideal snack to carry while travelling. The absence of perishable ingredients in Gud Papdi helps it to be stored over an extended period without getting spoilt.
