This is a mom given gift to me. Heirloom Sweets or deserts need no description. They are made with magical hands who put their soul and heart filled love in it. Such dish I have learnt from my mom and so it's a big gift to me. It is a traditional sweet of andhra pradesh. Made on festive occasions or any celebrations. Less number of ingredients is the simplicity of the receipe and the humbleness of the dish.Do try making with the easy descriptive steps I have given the way I learnt from my mom.
