Soan papdi
Soan papdi (also known as san papri, shompapri, sohan papdi, shonpapdi or patisa)[1] is a popular dessert in the Indian subcontinent. The term soan or sohan is not to be confused with Persian term sohān which is totally unrelated.[2] It bears some resemblance to the Persian pashmaki, which gave rise to the Turkish pişmaniye.[3] It is usually cube-shaped or served as flakes, and has a crisp and flaky texture. Traditionally sold loose in rolled paper cones, modern industrial production has led it to being sold in the form of tightly formed cubes.[1]
