This Diwali was a nonstop cooking at my side specially Sweets and Namkeens. It is so much fun to learn new things especially preparing Indian sweets and Namkeens is such a pride.I was concentrating more on the Indian sweets and Namkeens this year.Being in the Fb foodgroups is such an exposure for us foodies,be it new recipes,presentation,photography etc.We get to learn so many things day by day.For me learning never ends.It is nonstop.Every day is a new day and every new day is learning and experiencing new things.This recipe was posted by my aunt Mrs Ravikala Shenoy mayi in a foodgroup and she is one of the wonderful cook I have ever seen.The original recipe was of Chaklis but we prepared murrukkus.The Murrukkus just melts in the mouth,its so very tempting.Have a safe Diwali dear readers !
