Deciding what to cook is always the hard part but when it comes to naani (grandmother) she always knows what to cook! As soon as I woke up she called me to come cook...It was only 10 am!!! But being an Indian grandmother she was set in her ways...and 10 am it was! Today we cooked one of my favourite indian sweet treats! Dahi waras! They are these delectable syrupy bubbles of goodness! They are usually eaten as a starter or a snack to any meal....naani is old so me being the young granddaughter she made me do all the hard work of rolling the dough till it was thin for frying. ...The end result was worth all that hard work and sweat! Sweet little delectable treats!
