I normally plan ahead on what new dish to be prepared and make them in the morning. This time round, due to unexpected turn of events, it was always a rushed one. Anyway this simple and easy sweet dish is what we made for one of the days. Best part was that Konda liked it. Since it has jaggary, it's quite healthy as well. Since we offer Idlis for prasadam on certain festivals, it's also a custom to offer sweet version of it.
With heavy rains blessing us since last week, it's been a long holiday for the kids. So much so that they refused to go to school. And it's another tough task to decide what to send them. So times like that, snacks like this comes very handy.
