How Soan Papdi fits in your diet
A 1 piece (~25 g) of soan papdi contributes about 6% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 3% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with besan, maida, ghee, sugar, cardamom.
Flaky, fibrous sweet of besan, flour and sugar with cardamom and pistachio. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
