Picture this sometime in the 1980-90 school get over, mind you school was 10 am to 5 pm. Then you come home and you have a snack and milk. What was the snack? Either it was poha, upma, chivda if you were lucky with mom not being home when you come back then you have coffee in place of milk.

Then you went out to play or study as per how much of work you have to submit in school in order to avoid the book incomplete tag.

This was our invariable routine.

When we went to school we had two Tiffin boxes one for the short break and one for the long break.

We rarely ate biscuits or store bought stuff for they were expensive. Now looking back I feel it was good they were expensive because Amma made delicious stuff to give us in our Tiffin as a snack and meal.

But today I want to talk about my short break stuff. We used to get Maledi, Perad, Besan Ladoo, Rava/sooji Ladoo, and Gul Papdi when she gave sweets. For pungent stuff, we used to get Chivda, Poha, Cutlets, Small Thalipeeth, Pungent Puris.

You can add if you want khus khus/poppy seeds, cardamom, I have seen a recipe with desiccated coconut. My SIL has made it with gulkand also. So here we go.

My jaggery was in fine pieces so I ran the amount in the chutney pot of the mixer to break all the lumps.

My friend tell me that in Gujarat this is called Sukdi.

So here we go.
