Chewy Soan Papdi Cardamom Cookies

in

What is Soan Papdi? Soan Papdi, also known as patisa is this incredibly flaky, flossy, cotton candyesque Indian dessert that is made with ghee, gram flour, cardamom and sugar. The ingredients are humble but the texture on this dessert is unbelievable. I’m not a big Indian dessert fan but this dessert does it for me! It’s texture is unparalleled! Combining the soan papdi with a gram flour sugar cookie infused with saffron milk, pistachios and cardamom created a cookie that complemented the flavors of the soan papdi and served kind of like a vehicle for this delicious dessert (because soan papdi is a very very messy dessert!) It’s the perfect fusion of American and Indian flavors.
