Shankarpale are one of my favourite sweet snack. They're made by frying diamond-shaped pieces of pastry until crispy, golden brown and later tossing them in sugar syrup. Once the syrup air dries, it forms a sweet film on the pastry, a bit like frosted cornflakes, but only better! I like to have my sweet shankarpale with a cup of hot Masala Chai and a good book. The only trouble is that these take longer to fry than gobble up!

Another version of Sweet Shankarpale is Goad Puri.
Sopaipilla is a similar Spanish recipe. Roughly translated, sopaipilla means oil-soaked bread. It's made my adding shortening to leavened dough, and then frying triangular or rectangular shapes. The fried dough, like sweet shankarpale forms a hollow pocket in the centre. Once fried, it is immediately dusted with icing sugar. Check out Tori's recipe here.
