Moonlight Delight

This one is a recipie borrowed from my cousin.

It is a new combination of the regularly eaten sweets - Jamoon and the Sonpapdi.
Very simple and quick to make with no extra skill required.

Ingredients:
1. Jamoon mix of 200 gms(I used the MTR brand)
2. Sonpapdi 5 to 6 pieces ( Used special one from Haldirams brand)
3. Grated coconut about 50 grams
4. Sugar powder - 75 grams
5. Elachi powder - 1 tsp
6. Milk - 1 cup
7. Oil/ghee - to fry the Moonlight(yeah new version of jamoon)

Method:
Make dough by mixing the jamoon mix and milk and 5 tea spoons of sugar powder.
Now make small balls out of the dough, each of about inch in diameter.
Make smaller balls/laddoos of Sonpapdi by softening it with a few drops of milk.
Press the jamoon balls a little and place the sonpapdi balls in them.
Roll back into a complete ball and place them aside. Once you have done the same with all of the dough.
Meanwhile keep the oil/ghee to heat up. Pop out a few moonlights into the oil and fry them till they turn golden brown.
Remove them into a bowl and drain the excess oil.
In a tray sprinkle the mixture of powdered sugar, elachi and grated coconut.
Roll the fried moonlight on it.


Here is how it would look like. Enjoy and do let me know if you like it.
