Step-by-Step Method to Make Gur Papdi

1. Roast the Seeds:

• Heat a pan on high flame, then lower it. Add sesame seeds and roast until they release a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool.

• Roast melon seeds until crispy and add them with sesame seeds. Reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish.

• Grind the cooled seeds into a fine powder and set aside.

2. Toast the Coconut and Nuts:

• In the same pan, roast the dry coconut on low flame until evenly brown and remove.

• Roast cashews and almonds until lightly toasted. Cool and crush them coarsely.

3. Prepare the Edible Gum:

• Grind the edible gum into a fine powder using a mixer.

4. Roast the Flour in Ghee:

• Heat ghee in a kadhai and add both wheat and karkara flours. Roast on low flame for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and nutty. Stir constantly to avoid burning.

5. Combine the Ingredients:

• Add edible gum powder to the roasted flour and mix immediately to let it pop.

• Incorporate the sesame-melon seed powder and chopped jaggery, stirring until the jaggery melts. Add in the roasted nuts and dry spices.

6. Set the Gur Papdi:

• Transfer the mixture to a greased plate. Press evenly with a pav bhaji masher and garnish with reserved seeds. Let it cool slightly before cutting into pieces.

7. Serve and Store:

• Carefully remove each piece and store in an airtight container.
