"Puri stuffed with khoya and dry fruit mixture and dipped in sugar syrup" this is the best how you can define a "Lavang Latika". It is a traditional north Indian dessert made during festivals like Holi, Diwali or even Durga puja. It's an easy and tasty recipe, rich in flavours. I made this recipe for Holi and loved by each and everyone.
