Shakkarpara/ Shankarpali is a most popular North Indian style deep fried snacks recipe prepared during Diwali and Holi festivals. It is popular in Gujarat and Maharashtra. It tastes mildly sweet and is served as a teatime snack. In South India, it is known as sweet maida biscuit. It is usually added in South Indian mixture. I have already shared that recipe HERE. Traditionally shakkarpara is prepared using maida, sugar, ghee and milk or water.
Today I have shared shankarpali recipe using wheat flour/ atta. I watched few YouTube video recipes and came up with this version. As I wished, it came out really well. It was super crunchy and mildly sweet in taste. Sendhil and Raksha loved it very much. They started munching even before it cooled down completely. I was very happy that my first recipe for Diwali and it was a big hit with my family.
There was no big difference in the ingredients and taste of maida Shakkarpara and wheat flour Shakkarpara. Only thing is the color of wheat flour shankarpali is darker than maida ones. People who are looking for snacks and sweets using wheat flour must give this a try. You will love it for sure. For healthier options, you can also use jaggery instead of sugar and bake them instead of frying in oil. Ok, lets see how to make Shakkar para with wheat flour.

Nice recipe mam.. can u post a recipe on how to make chocolate burfi
Hi, Thanks. I have already posted a two layer chocolate burfi. Please check this link : https://www.chitrasfoodbook.com/2014/10/chocolate-khoya-burfi-recipe-diwali.html
When I tried this, the shakkarpara turned out to be very hard to bite. Should the dough be in chapathi dough consistency or stiffer than that?
Hi, Wheat flour shakkarpara tastes hard when compared with maida ones. You can make in chapati dough consistency. You can also add a pinch of baking soda for more softness.
