Khorak-Sindhi sweet,is a traditional recipe made with wholemeal flour,dry fruits,ghee and khuskhus**(poppy seeds).It is prepared all around the year,primarily during winters and Diwali.This is a very simple recipe and can be done with minimal ingredients in less than 30 minutes.This is our take on this classic recipe Khorak. Traditionally gond(edible gum) makes it more rich and heavy.Here we have replaced white sugar with natural jaggery** to make it healthier.You may use white sugar in equal quantity as of flour. We had to use a bit more of jaggery to get the required sweetness. You may garnish with melon seeds as done in the traditional recipe.
