There are certain kinds of food that can trigger fond
memories. For me the soan papri is one. These
flaky sweets were one of my childhood favourites. Made from gram flour, ghee,
sugar and what not, I’d stuff the entire piece into my mouth and just let it
melt. They were usually sold from glass jar by the piece and I loved it when it
was all the more crumbly.
These days of course it’s become a little more
corporate with a number of respectable brands selling it, but I’ve always found
the packaged ones a little too dense. It's not light and flaky like the ones from
the glass jar. Thankfully the glass jar variety is still in existence and it’s
sold for just Rs. 5 apiece.
Where
to get the melt in your mouth variety: The ones I got were from Ringrey. His shop is just
opposite the ladies selling the local vegetables. On the same point of the speed
bump in Ringrey before ML restaurant.
