Specially towards Maharashtra and Konkan Belt this is commonly made and sold in stores. Similarly sweet shankarpali is also made which is meant for people with sweet tooth. If you ask me I love both 😉

I tried Spicy Shankarpali for a change and its awesome you should also try them. We all get bored eating sweets during festive season. Even I get bored and I always look for spicy food on the platter. I eat Spicy Shankarpali or namkeen like chiwda, besan sev or chaklis. 

This is my old post which I have slightly modified and changed the pics. Spicy Shankarpali tastes amazing and has a unique flavor.  You wanna taste spicy shankarpali than you gotto make them right????

    Hi. Lovely recipe.
    Just one question! At what stage do you add the milk. I don’t think it’s mentioned above.

    Many thanks.
