JANGIRI

Hi friends,Its nice to be back after a long break.
Thought let me start with a sweet...Diwali sweet...Jangiri.
This was my very first try in jangiri. The shape of this sweet had always fascinated me.My mom too have never done Jangiri so i didn't not have any idea how it was made until i saw this in a marriage.At that time i felt that person had special talents to make such beautiful shaped sweet.Anyway....Point is i never tried to learn that as i thought it was a difficult one...But my sweet friend Nalina gave me the recipe and told me how easy it was.And to be very frank friends....This was when i realised ...nothing is difficult.. its just our fear that makes it look difficult.Just like she said this was the most easiest sweet to make in this world.
