Adadiya Pak Kathiyawadi winter Cake

Thailand weather is just windy now days. But its not yet so cold.
In India during winter we Kathiyawadi people make many type of pak(Warming Foods),
During winter its colder outside, and we need extra calories to stay warm. During winter we eat lots of energy food, which are often high in calories and fat, break down more slowly in the digestive tract, releasing a steady flow of energy to the body and raising internal body temperature which helps during this cold winter months.
Paak (Warming Foods), is one type of sweet, in this we used many type of spices/herbs which provides energy and heat to the body.
During winter different type of Paak usually prepared in most of Gujarati/Indian home they are like  Adu (fresh ginger) paak, Meethi (fenugreek) paak, paied, gund (gum) paak, khajur (dates) paak and most popular Adadiya paak. This is really delicious winter cake. You can store this for a month. So let’s try my traditional recipe….

1.      2 cups split black gram flour (adad no lot)
2.      2 cups clarified butter (ghee)
3.      1/2 cup milk

You reminded me of our days when we lived in Barmer, Rajasthan. we used to eat urad ke ladoo similar to this. I have goond in my pantry but what are the other things-white and black musli. Completely new to me. Never heard of it.

Hello Daksha,


I am Anisha. Just like you born and brought up in India, but after marraige moved out of the country, actually my husband is born and brought up in kathiawad, so he is very much fond of Kathiawadi food and my mother-in-law was an excellent cook. I am very fond of cooking, we are non gujjus,but as I too was brought up in Ahmd, know a few gujarati dishes but have no idea about Kathiwadi food.

My mother-in-law used to make excellent adadiyapak and badam pak, I had tasted once both and can't express how god it tasted, she passed away 3 years back and didn't get chance of learning all these special recipes of her, so after she passed away was looking for these recipes on line, when saw yor recipe of adadiyapak, the ingredients looked to similar of what she used, so once gave it a try and my husband absolutely loved it and this is third winters, I am following your recipe and cooking for him, so now here I am to request you if you have badam pak recipe and if you can kindly share it with me, will be a big favour.


Thanks

Anisha.

Thanks for the recipe. Will try it soon as it's winter now.
Have you posted all the other Pak recipes that you mentioned? Please do if you haven't.
I guess this is similar to panjeeri which we make in Punjab in winters. Gond is added in that too.
