This is the interesting recipe which I came across on the web recently. This one of the Authentic dish from Orissa region of India and made during special occasions. It is prepared by grinding moong dhal into coarse paste and cooked in sugar syrup with coconut and cardamon, then fried in oil. It will brown quickly in oil, so keep an eye while frying. Serve this sweet at room temperature. Tasted good and soft on second day then first day. Sharing this recipe for Blogging Marathon 32- ABC series.
