This is one of my favourite snacks. Hundreds have been the number of times when I have had this during my school days. Despite this being my favourite snack, I really don't know why did not make this before. When I was raking my brains for an easy snack for Diwali, S suggested that I make this. An easy breezy and a hassle free recipe. Goes great with a cup of coffee or tea. So here goes the recipe.
