Instructions

Prepare the Pan

Lightly grease a plate or flat tray with ghee and set aside. This will be used to set the Sukhdi.

Roast the Nuts

  • Heat a pan over low to medium heat and dry roast the chopped mixed nuts until they turn slightly golden and aromatic.

  • Remove from the pan and set aside.

Prepare the Sukhdi Mixture

  • In the same pan, melt ½ cup of ghee over low heat.

  • Once melted, add the Farari flour and roast on low heat, stirring continuously. Roast until it turns light golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.

  • Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and add the jaggery or sugar, stirring continuously.

  • As the jaggery or sugar melts and combines with the flour, the mixture will thicken and start leaving the sides of the pan (about 4-5 minutes).

  • Add the roasted nuts, cardamom powder, and a pinch of sindhav salt. Mix well.

Set the Sukhdi

  • Quickly transfer the mixture onto the greased plate or tray.

  • Press it down evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula to create a smooth, compact surface.

Cool and Cut

  • Allow the Sukhdi to cool for 15-20 minutes, during which it will firm up.

  • While still slightly warm, cut into square or diamond shapes using a sharp knife.

Serve

  • Once fully cool and firm, carefully remove the pieces from the tray.

  • Your Farari Sukhdi is ready to enjoy during fasting. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Cooking Time

Approximately 20-25 minutes, making this a quick and simple sweet treat for Ekadashi or Vrat fasting days.
