EASY TO DO WITH STEP WISE PICTURES

MAHAS NOTES

You can fry muruku until brown in color.but,don`t burn it.

I added less sugar syrup and after few hours laddus turned bit hard.But,later I understood that adding more sugar syrup does n`t spoils the laddus.

For a soft looks you should add good amount of sugar syrup and ghee (2 tbsp) then make laddus.

Blending muruku into fine powder gives a nice texture..



ONCE AGAIN HAPPY PONGAL-STAY BLESSED
