Singhara

Singhara is a traditional Indian sweet made from gram flour (besan), sugar, and ghee. It is a popular dessert in many parts of India, particularly in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. The name "singhara" is derived from the Sanskrit word "singharam," which means "lion's share."

The preparation of singhara involves mixing gram flour with sugar and ghee, and then shaping the mixture into small, round balls. These balls are then deep-fried until they turn golden brown. The resulting sweet has a crispy exterior and a soft, sweet interior. Singhara is often served as a snack or dessert, and is enjoyed both by adults and children.

In addition to its culinary uses, singhara also has medicinal properties. It is believed to help in digestion, improve blood circulation, and boost immunity. However, it is important to consume singhara in moderation, as it is high in calories and fat.

Singhara is a versatile sweet that can be enjoyed in various forms. It can be served plain, or with a side of chai (tea) or coffee. It can also be used as a topping for ice cream or as a filling for pastries. Despite its simple ingredients, singhara has a unique taste and texture that makes it a beloved treat in India.
