Homemade sweets and snacks have a enduring allure. Ghee and oil aroma permeates the entire house during the festivities.I prepared coconut burfi,a simple yet delicious sweet prepared with minimal ingredients.After relishing all the sweets and snacks,I thoroughly enjoyed the stunning visuals of crackers from my terrace and captured it on my mobile.I decided to post the pics on my blog.
