Manasbals

Manasbals are a traditional form of Indian sweets, originating from the state of Rajasthan. They are small, round, and flat, typically made from a mixture of flour, sugar, and ghee. The name "Manasbals" translates to "sweet of the mind," reflecting their delicate and sweet flavor. The dough is prepared by mixing flour with ghee and water, then kneading it until smooth. The dough is then rolled out thinly and cut into small circles, which are deep-fried until golden brown. After frying, the Manasbals are sprinkled with powdered sugar, giving them a sweet and crunchy texture. They are often served as a dessert or a snack, and are popular during festivals and special occasions. Manasbals are also known for their versatility, as they can be flavored with various ingredients such as cardamom, saffron, or rose water. Despite their simple ingredients, Manasbals are a beloved treat in Indian cuisine, appreciated for their unique taste and texture.
