Jeera Poli is one among my favorite sweet from childhood. My grandpa use to get this sweet as evening snack for us. This is very easy and simple to prepare, but I could remember that this would be in different shapes with little foldings in it. I prepared this all of a sudden as per my daughter’s request for some sweets to celebrate Raksha Bandhan with my little naughty son. I prepared it in a simple way without any foldings, will share the others soon.
A perfect and easy sweet for festival like Raksha bandhan and Diwali. Let us move on to the recipe…
