Kunaffa ???..are you sure ???

Id was in the air...and still is (see the needle on the clock nearing 2 pm, and it was time to leave the office for the whole of last month, hummm.....got to wait 3 long hours more till next year, same time......till then, Ramadhan,.....I miss you!!!)

All the stores and markets will be piled up with sweets, and one think which I noticed, apart from Indian sweets, you see a lot of Vermicilli in use(the thinnest of the lot) .

.

I remember, my previous manager, Dr. Ward, who was a Briton, trying to explain to a guest who was also from UK, about Arabic sweets, and calling them "sugar-strands!!".

.

Apart from the regular use of Vermicilli in Kerala as in Semiya payasam, or Uppma....their use was very much limited, till I came to see all these sweets over here.

.

So, this is one such ***** I prepared, with the sole aim of using Wards' so called "sugar strands",which I had purchased not knowing exactly what to do with it, except the determination that it will not end up in a bowl of milk as Payasam!
