Gulgula

Gulgula....a childhood love of mine, The name always fascinates me & brings a big smile on my face... while growing up there was no fancy indulgence for us..we always ate homemade fresh food,...and" bou "(my mother)had solutions for everything, when we wanted sweet snacks ,she made this gulgula..She only needed 15/20 minutes to whip up and homemade gulgula was ready for our sweet cravings...with very basic n easily available ingredients like wheat flour, sugar/ jaggery, banana, milk/yogurt with the dash of fennel seeds for flavor.she mashed everything in big bowl and made a batter then fried them in oil/ghee,I prefer the ghee one more😊..The tiny tiny banana dumplings taste amazing for me.. ..Today,I did the same for my little one as she was craving for her favourite doughnut and my pantry was running out of maida...so I told her.. baby,let's make a new dish and told a small story about how her Aai made this for me and how I loved them..and she agreed to try this. Even she became my little helper and we spend some #motherdaughter time and made them ,with no surprises she loves it ... ❣️
