"What’s for dessert dear?” That’s my husband’s question as soon as he steps into the house from work. Yes, not what’s for dinner or lunch but Dessert .A complete and satisfying meal is only with a perfect dessert or sweet. And look who inherited that sweet genes. Yes my son (Can’t say much about the little one...yet!).Right now where we stay its very difficult to get traditional Indian sweets. So I just try out new recipes, hoping it comes out perfect to their tastes.
SUNNUNDALU is a very traditional sweet of Andhra. I had this for the first time from one of my friend’s house. She said it is prepared during baby showers as it has lot of health benefits during pregnancy and also given to kids. Must be the protein and fat which are beneficial for a pregnant lady very simple and easy to make and doesn’t take much time.
