Instant Golpapdi, also known as Microwave Golpapdi or 4-Minute Golpapdi, is a quick and delightful Gujarati sweet that can be prepared in minutes without compromising on taste or texture. Traditionally known as Sukhadi in Gujarat, this warm, ghee-rich treat combines the goodness of whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta), jaggery (gur), and ghee — creating a comforting, melt-in-the-mouth dessert. What makes this recipe special is its instant microwave preparation, which transforms a time-consuming sweet into an easy, quick-fix indulgence perfect for festive occasions or sudden sweet cravings.
To make Instant Golpapdi, start by combining 1 cup of whole wheat flour and ½ cup ghee in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 3 minutes, stirring after every minute, until the mixture turns golden brown and gives off a rich roasted aroma. This step ensures that the flour is perfectly cooked and releases its nutty flavor. Add 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (khus-khus) and microwave for another 30 seconds, which enhances the texture and adds a subtle crunch to the mixture.
Once the mixture is lightly cooled, add ½ cup grated jaggery (gur) and mix well. Microwave again for 30 seconds so that the jaggery melts just enough to caramelize slightly, giving the Golpapdi its signature sweet, earthy flavor and a light crunch. The trick lies in not overheating the jaggery — if added while the mixture is too hot, it will harden; if too cool, it won’t melt properly. This balance ensures the perfect soft-yet-crispy texture that Golpapdi lovers enjoy.
Next, add 3 tablespoons milk and ¼ teaspoon cardamom (elaichi) powder, then mix thoroughly to create a soft, smooth mixture. The milk keeps the Golpapdi moist and molten, giving it a luscious, almost halwa-like texture when served warm. The cardamom adds a sweet, aromatic flavor that perfectly complements the richness of the ghee and jaggery. Garnish with 4 teaspoons of almond slivers (badam) for a touch of elegance, crunch, and nutrition.
This Microwave Golpapdi is meant to be served immediately, as its soft, molten consistency and warm aroma are best enjoyed fresh out of the microwave. Unlike the traditional version, which is cooled and cut into diamond shapes, this instant version is served warm in bowls or small cups, similar to a rich sweet pudding. The caramelized jaggery, toasted wheat, and fragrant cardamom come together beautifully, offering a comforting, home-style flavor that’s both nostalgic and modern.
Overall, 4-Minute Golpapdi is a perfect example of traditional taste with modern convenience. It’s ideal for festivals, sudden guests, or late-night dessert cravings, especially when you want something homemade and wholesome. Packed with the goodness of ghee and jaggery, it provides instant energy and warmth — a favorite among kids and adults alike. Whether you call it Sukhadi or Golpapdi, this instant Gujarati sweet proves that simple ingredients and quick methods can create desserts that are timeless, heartwarming, and utterly delicious.
