Delightful Tosha

( Click image for enlarged view )

Tosha is a Indian sweet which looks like gulab jamun but easier to make n very tasty too. It was really a lovely experience to make this wonderful sweet as I have childhood memories with toshas...my mom used to take me to temple and there we would buy tosha for prasad to offer to the lord...After 15 yrs I again got a chance to eat this. There was a event in Niveditas blog last week n she gave this recipe. I made this but due to some reason I did not post it. But thanks to Nivedita for the wonderful dessert.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
