The key to making Gunder ni sukhadi at home are
- In sukhadi, the proportion of flour, ghee, and jaggery should be equal.
- I use bavdiyo gunder (one of the gunder varieties), which is suitable for men and women. You can use any variety of gunder (gond).
- roast dry fruits on low flame for more crunchy bites. add dry fruits of your choice, and adjust the proportion accordingly.
- Roast flour on lower flame till it changes its color and turns aromatic. Also, ghee is separated from its sides.
- Add chopped or melted jaggery, when the mixture is slightly cooled down. Also do not overcook mix jaggery with flour otherwise sukhadi will become hard.
- It also has a long shelf life and can be stored it in an airtight container for 15-20 days in winter.
