Jhangri

Many people where suprised when i told them i made jhangri.May be even if someone would've told me i would feel the same.I always had a feeling it was very tough to make.If you are not very particular on the shape and happy if it tastes good you should surely give a try.Mine tasted yummy but the shapes were very bad.

1 Cup Urad Dal(Udhi pappu) without skin

1 Tbsp Rice

2 Saffron strands or a pinch of orange food colour

Sugar Syrup

Plastic cover

Soak urad dal and rice for atleast 3 hours.Grind them into a paste with minimum water(If you put this in a cover you should be able to make some shapes easily).Add the food colour or safrron to little water and mix with the paste.Transfer the paste to a plastic bag witha small hole.For the syrup take a deep bottom vessel and boil water and add sugar and keep mixing.Concentrate of the sugar depends on how sweet you would like it.

Now heat oil in a deep bottom vessel.On medium heat start making circles and small rounds around the circles and make a circle again on top.Soak the jhangris in the syrup till it has absorbed enough syrup.Jhangri is ready.

Sunni Undalu

This sweet is very good for health.It gives you lot of strength.Good to eat one everyday.Its very simple and fast to make.It took me around 30 mins to make it.

Ingredients

1 Cup Urad Dal(Minapappu or Udhi pappu)

1 Cup Sugar

3/4th Cup Ghee.

Actually all the above ratio depends on your taste.If you dont like it to be sweet you can decrease.

Dry roast the urad dal till golden brown on low flame.Be carefull that you should not burn it else it will not be tasty.Actual taste comes from how you roast the urad dal.When you are done keep aside and let it cool.Meantime grind sugar into a powder and put it on a wide mouthed vessel.Grind the roasted urad dal to a powder and mix well.Add ghee and make it into round balls.Ghee will help in holding the dal and sugar together.

1 Cup(rice cup) Urad dal makes 6 sunni undalu.You can increase the quantity accordingly.
