Gulgula were very popular snack in our childhood days!And those who have sweet tooth must be loving it!.

Gulgula is a traditional sweet made in different regions of India. While no longer popular in the market places, it is traditionally made on specific festive occasions in rural areas.Traditionally they were made with jaggery.

As gulgula's are traditionally made with Jaggery in my version i have substituted it with brown sugar! I will share a how to get perfect rounds in the description.
