I love this. It is so easy to do. Whenever I run out of snack for kids I will just do this. This is yet another dish in which it is difficult to go wrong. Also you almost mix any nuts or dhal yet it will taste wonderful. It is good tea time or after school snack. It is good for rainy season too. It is definitely healthier one…
