The democracy day has been the free day i have this week. So, i was at home without attending school.

I am eager to enter the kitchen and cook iftar for the family . Because my family have been missing my iftar dishes this year as i came back late from school everyday. So, i decided to delight them with a delicious snack. #ramadhancontest

I knew that yam ball is a favorite snack to the family, then i decided to prepare it but in a different way. I try making this snack for the first time and i named it "yam donuts". The outcome was fine and fun.
