🏡 Introduction: The Taste of Indian Tradition
Sweet Khurma (also known as Shakkarpara, Meetha Khurma or Laktho) is a beloved traditional sweet snack from Bihar and other North Indian states. Made with a blend of refined flour (maida), or wheat flour, ghee, and jaggery or sugar, Khurma has been a festive favorite for generations. Crispy on the outside and sweetly glazed, each bite offers the warmth of home, festivals, and heritage.
🌾 Traditional Roots & Flavor Profile
Khurma is deeply rooted in Bihari culture, especially during major festivals like Diwali, Eid, Chhath Puja, and Holi. The dough is rolled, cut into bite-sized diamonds, deep-fried, and coated in sugar or jaggery syrup, forming a crunchy outer layer with a soft, flaky inside.
Flavor Notes:
- Mildly sweet and crunchy
- Hints of cardamom or fennel in traditional versions
- Ghee-fried richness with a golden brown glow
