Today I am presenting a delicious sweet which you can make in a jiffy without much planning. Every year during Eid, my Muslim friend here in Sydney gives us delicious Biryani and Sweet.

Recently, when I was going through my recipe index, I figured out that I have not shared any other poori recipes here apart from the regular poori and hence...
