Shankarpali or Shakarpara is a crispy and light sweetened snack prepared using all purpose flour, sugar and ghee. Shankarpali also known as Sweet Tukdi or Shakkarpara. This snack looks like bite sized sugar cookies and its a perfect tea time snack.

Shankarpali is very popular in South India and Maharashtra which usually prepared during the festive seasons like diwali, christmas and holi, etc., 

There is another similar recipe called Shakkar pare. A lot of people think that shankarpali and shakkar pare are the same thing. They are not. There is a big difference in the recipe. Shakkar pare are dunked in sugar syrup after being fried. Mainly, the sugar syrup should be 2-3 thread consistency. In Shankarpali, ghee is the key ingredient. It makes the biscuit very crumbly, flaky and crispy, it results melts in your mouth.
