Sukhdi (Indian Protein Bar)
Sukhdi is an iron-rich protein bar made using peanuts, sesame seeds, watermelon seeds, sunflower seeds and jaggery. It is easy to make, tastes delicious and is highly nutritious. You can have one bar of this after your workout and you will forget about the store bought health bars. This bar has all the ingredients which are high in nutritional value. Once I started making Sukhdi at home, no one including my grown-up children prefers to have store bought health bars which are full of unhealthy ingredients.
