Sweet Shakarpara is one of the most famous jar snacks in Western and Northern India. It is made during Holi and other festivals, and is much-loved by all.

What makes this classic recipe a great hit with everybody is its crispy texture and pleasant sweetness. While the traditional Sweet Shakarpara is made with refined flour and fried in ghee, here we show you how to make a healthier, baked version using whole wheat flour.

Of course, it being a sweet dish we cannot avoid sugar but we have used it minimally just to lend a pleasant sweetness. Take the healthier route and try this out during this festive season.

You can also try other healthy sweets like the Pear Rabri and Healthy Peda .

I personally like the way TD team modifies calorie laden recipes and present them to us in a more healthier manner. This recipe is a hit in my house too!
