Poudarjata

Poudarjata is a traditional Indian sweet dish, originating from the state of Gujarat. It is a popular dessert made from a mixture of gram flour (besan), sugar, ghee, and cardamom. The name "poudarjata" is derived from the Gujarati words "poud" meaning sugar and "arjata" meaning sweet. The dish is typically prepared during festivals and special occasions, and is often served with a side of fresh cream or yogurt.

The preparation of poudarjata involves mixing the gram flour with ghee and sugar, and then cooking the mixture until it thickens and turns a golden brown color. The dish is then flavored with cardamom and allowed to cool before serving. It has a distinctive texture, with a crumbly and slightly crunchy exterior, and a soft, sweet interior.

Poudarjata is a popular dessert in Gujarat and is often served as a part of traditional Gujarati thalis. It is also a popular street food in the region, with vendors selling the sweet in small packets or cones. The dish is known for its rich, sweet flavor and is often enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.
