Some dishes make us awestruck and we wonder how anyone could make something that looks so complex. This Jangiri sweet is one such dish❤️ But trust me, it’s not very difficult. Diwali is tomorrow and here is my Jangiri recipe that I would like to share with you❤️❤️My Rangu thaatha ( mom’s uncle) was an expert in making Jangiri in Srirangam town in Tamil Nadu. Rangu Thaatha ran a catering business for more than 40years and many of the wedding feasts were catered by him ❤️❤️ I always wanted to learn from my thaatha but I never got the chance. Today as I fondly remember him, I want to tell him-“Thaatha I made it”
