Lasuni Rabdi

Reading articles and magazines is quite a good idea especially when your mind is empty and you have strong desire to experiment.


I laid my hands on a very old issue of the Upper crust magazine and it send a tingling sensation in my tongue by reading a recipe called "Lasuni Rabadi". The name of the recipe was such obnoxious, so I wondered what the recipe will taste like?


To end my speculations and all the pondering I decided to try my hands on this recipe. It is a traditional Indian sweet from Lucknow.
