Lavanga Lathalu
This a variety sweet prepared in South India, especially by Telugu people. This is a stuffed sweet, coconut and sugar are used for stuffing and maida for out side layer. This sweet is soft inside and is crispy outside. The clove (lavangam) is used to lock the outer layer. Consuming the sweet with clove is tasty, at the same time we don't get a cough (because we eat clove along with the coconut). Mrs.Lakshmi shared this snack and has clearly explained it step by step.
