Oct 27, 2023 You can deep fry them but I like air frying them. They are highly addictive and you can’t stop snacking on these. Diwali is incomplete without making a batch or namak para and shakarpara. And while I make the regular shakarpara all the time, I thought why not add cinnamon to it this time. I am a huge cinnamon fan especially in desserts like cinnamon bundt cake or crepes and cinnamon sugar is one of my favorite toppings to sprinkle over muffins, toast, ice creams. The addition of cinnamon to shakarpara makes it aromatic and gives it that sweet yet spicy and earthy flavor.

Ingredients

Flour: I have use regular flour in these shakarpara so that they remain light. You can replace it with whole wheat but know that it will make them desner. Cinnamon: since these are cinnamon sugar shakapara, make sure to use a good quality cinnamon powder. You can use anywhere between 1 to 1&1/2 teaspoon cinnamon depending on how much you love cinnamon. Ghee/oil: for the “moyen” in the recipe (so that it remains soft even after frying), you can use either ghee or oil.

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Shakarpara

Storage

Once the cinnamon sugar shakarpara has completely cooled down, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Make sure the lid is tight enough else they might lose the crispiness. Consume the shakarpara within 10 days for best flavor.

Can We Make This Without Cinnamon?

Of course, you can make this without cinnamon. It will just be plain shakarpara then. If that’s what you want to make, just skip the cinnamon powder. Rest of the recipe remains the same.

Baking in The Oven

If you want to bake these in the oven, preheat your oven at 375 F degrees and then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray with oil and then bake at 375 F degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them once in between.

More Indian Desserts with Cinnamon

Since I love cinnamon so much, over the years I have created some more cinnamon based Indian desserts. This Salted Caramel Cinnamon Burfi combines two of my favorite things- cinnamon and salted caramel sauce. Chocolate and cinnamon is another favorite combo and it pairs beautifully together in these Chocolate Cinnamon Gujiya.
