Soan papdi
Soan papdi (also known as san papri, shompapri, sohan papdi, shonpapdi or patisa)[1] is a popular dessert in the Indian subcontinent. The term soan or sohan is not to be confused with Persian term sohān which is totally unrelated.[2] It bears some resemblance to the Dragon's beard candy in China, Klul-tarae in Korea,[3] Persian pashmaki, which gave rise to the Turkish pişmaniye.[4] It is usually cube-shaped or served as flakes, and has a crisp and flaky texture. Traditionally sold loose in rolled paper cones, modern industrial production has led it to being sold in the form of tightly formed cubes.[1]

Believed to have been derived from the Turkish Pismaniye, soan papdi is often referred to as Indian candy floss as it has a strand-like texture that makes it so soft and flaky.
