Shankarpoli is a nostalgic favorite, beloved for its lightly sweet flavor and incredible, flaky, layered texture. Traditionally, this texture is achieved by using heavily refined wheat flour (maida), which offers zero nutritional value. ARM Orgaanics has successfully reinvented this classic by ditching the maida entirely in favor of a fiber-rich blend of organic sorghum (Jowar) and pearl millet (Bajra). To achieve the perfect sweetness, we strictly avoid refined white sugar. Instead, our dough is sweetened with premium organic jaggery or raw unrefined cane sugar, and enriched with a touch of pure ghee (or vegan alternatives) and cardamom. When rolled, cut into iconic diamonds, and cooked, they puff up beautifully. The exterior becomes delightfully crispy and golden, while the interior remains soft, layered, and crumbly. The jaggery imparts a rich, caramel-like depth that elevates the flavor far beyond the traditional recipe. These bite-sized treats are perfect for those who have a swee...

These bite-sized treats are perfect for those who have a sweet tooth but are mindful of their health. They are an excellent, non-messy sweet snack to pack in a child\'s lunchbox, and they are sophisticated enough to serve alongside afternoon tea or as a light dessert after dinner. During the festive season, they offer a way to indulge in tradition without compromising on dietary goals.
