Laung lata (syrup based sweet)

                                     This Sweet preparation was made by my mother as a post Dussehra sweet ,as this could be stored for a long duration for unexpected guests.I as an young girl watched my mom make these beauties,and first fell in love with the name of the sweet ,then the look and lastly of course for the taste.
                                                     



         
                   

  • Ingredients
  • All purpose  flour -2 cups
  • oil or ghee-2 tablespoons
  • salt -1 pinch
  • thick sugar syrup-1 cup
  • oil for deep frying

The filling

Take one teaspoon of the filling at the centre

Second fold

Fold in both the ends

Push in a clove to keep the cloves in place

My neat parcels are ready for frying

Turn them over and fry,for 5 minutes


Now lower the flame and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes

Turn and fry in low heat for 2 minutes

Take them out of oil ,when they change colour to pink



Drop in sugar syrup one by one
