kopard

Kopard is a traditional Indian sweet dish, primarily associated with the state of Gujarat. It is a popular dessert made from a mixture of flour, sugar, ghee, and milk. The name "kopard" is derived from the Gujarati words "kopra" meaning coconut and "ard" meaning sweet, reflecting its coconut-based flavor.

The preparation of kopard involves mixing flour with ghee and sugar, followed by adding milk and coconut. The mixture is then cooked until it thickens into a dough-like consistency. The dough is then rolled out into thin sheets, which are cut into diamond or square shapes. These sheets are then fried in ghee until they become crispy and golden brown.

Kopard is typically served as a sweet treat, often accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee. It is also a popular snack during festivals and special occasions in Gujarat. The dish is known for its unique taste, which combines the sweetness of sugar with the rich, nutty flavor of coconut and ghee.
