Every festival we always had home made sweets n snacks that my papa & mummy prepared religiously…. we never bothered then to learn making homemade sweets/snacks…..after we lost them a year back, badly missed the moments & taste. Our “want” to follow the tradition, we looked up internet for recipes…. this recipe is closest to the taste we remember… thanks for taking time to make it available freely n also keeping it simple to understand.
