Oil for deep frying

For the filling –
Cottage cheese 1 cup

Method :
For the filling add all the ingredients of the filling mentioned above .Keep it aside. Now for the manda (balls) heat water in a pan. Add sugar and salt to it. When the water starts boiling add the suji (semolina).Be careful so that the suji (semolina) doesn’t form lumps. Then make balls out of it by spreading a little water on your hands .Fill the balls with the filling kept aside. Deep fry the balls and savour them.

Dear Pamita,
thanks a lot dear for the encouragement.The same reason of being miles away from home made me yearn for the all that and the result is this blog.I feel very happy to know that it helped you also.If you are from Bhawanipatna then we must be related to each other.Do let me know from which place and area you are.Happy cooking :)
