Shakarpara ( Sweet Diamond Biscuits)

Shakarpara or sweet diamond biscuits are Traditional Diwali snack recipe of North India.
It can be prepared using maida or all purpose flour, but to make it healthier I have used whole wheat flour.

Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup
Butter / Ghee - 1 tablespoon
Cardamon powder or elaichi powder - 1.5 tsp
Oil for frying

Method:
# In a bowl mix whole wheat flour, powdered sugar, ghee or butter,  elaichi powder or cardamon powder...till it becomes bread crumbs consistently.
# Add very little water and prepare a dough as we do for paratha or chappati.
# Make balls of the dough and roll as we do for paratha....cut into small diamond peices.
# Heat oil on a medium flame and fry shakarpara in small batches.
Once it turns to slight brown in colour switch off the flame. Ready to serve.
