Don't get carried away by the name cigar, it's nothing but a fancy form of our most loved dessert Shahi Tukda. Shahi Tukda is loved by all in my family so this time around Holi, I thought I would give it a makeover and present it in a glamorous form. Who doesn't like a touch of glitter?
I stuffed Gulkand and unsweetened coconut flakes into it and rolled it into the shape of a cigar. Later on, after frying in desi ghee, I served it with Saffron Rabdi. It was divine in taste and everyone loved it.
I thought about doing a pictorial recipe for this post but due to this COVID 19 situation, it never happened and somehow I forgot about it. A lot of my readers were interested in knowing the recipe so I thought I should share this with everyone.
