Ek tha Bachpan when Amma used
to make Gul Papdi.
In case you do not know what it is then it's a sweet
powder make out of wheat flour and jaggery. We used to put a big
spoonful in the mouth and say "Fufi" and the powder came out in puffs! Silly I know but fun, just imagine girls
in STD VIII, IX &X doing this!!

those carefree days. How I miss them now!!

This hardens in case it cools down so
serve immediately. Since I did not know this I let it stay like a lump it was.
Next time it gets shaped. In my Office the hardened hard chiki or brittle we all
enjoyed.

P.S. Use 1-2 tbsp milk after the jaggery. The original recipe called for this and I forgot.
