Godu Appo

Today is the first day of the Shravan month and is an auspicious month for Hindus. G.S.B  ladies perform Puja on Friday and Sunday by making a special type of tiny flower bouquet and offer it to the lord and exchange it with the married ladies. Coming back to the dish I prepared this Appo sometime back for my Saibaba rwath. The preparation is very simple. The recipe was shared by my talented friend Suphala Shenoy. This is a no fail recipe. Stay tuned for more interesting recipes !
