It does not look like that people even make them any more for Iftari.

Anyone has made them in recent years ?

Somehow I can bet that Adrasteia has :hmmm:

She looks like one of those Gharara aunties who like to eat Gulgulays and ShakarParays

anyone??

See I made my point .. out of 3 people only Adrasteia has eaten both :smiley:

Gharara aunty .. :hmmm: I am afraid I have to give reference from the sourses that only Adrasteia can understand ..

Gharara aunty is like Arsh-e-Muneer kind of aunties

(Arsh-e-Muneer was an aged actress who used to play typpical gharara type cahrater roles in TV dramas)

In these modern times people will like them if they are sold by some big name store .

My mother used to make them . Many years ago I had any of those.

My mum used to make heaps and store 'em in containers.
Gulgulays were the best though however you couldnt store 'em for long cause of ants.

Namak and Shakar paras are very easy to make, easier than baking a cake.

mum used to add zeera or kalonji in namak paras to make them more tasty.
