Sweet n Sour

Vaish’s post reminded me of this tangy sweet we used to have as kids. Most domestic flights in India offer this along with the other sweets these days; and, a variant of it is available at all FoodWorld outlets as well.

Here’s how you can make it at home:

Tamarind, jaggery, and a pinch each of salt and chilli powder – place them all together on a hard surface and pound them with a heavy stone till the ingredients blend, resulting in a yummy homogenous mass. Draw out a small quantity of the mixture and roll it between your palms, till it assumes a spherical shape. Pop it into your mouth and savour the piquant taste!

Like it? :-)
