Know very few ladies who make this saran ki pudi for diwali faraal, but i do know lot of them who like it! it's a modified version of karanji, or perhaps karanji is modified version of this. It has jaggery instead of sugar. I love jaggery, so i prefer putting it instead of sugar . The filling is called 'saran'and after stuffing it, it's fried like puri. I usually prepare the filling for karanji and this, and then make both the dishes together. This filling can be stored in an airtight container for a week or so. Shaping this is easier than karanji though.
