Aasmi

This is a very famous Sri Lankan sweet that every one like to eat. It sounds difficult. But really easy to make. We spend so much money to buy them as its a very expensive sweet too. When you fry them fry several days before and fry for the second time to get the soft aasmis. If you fry once only it will be a bit harder. So make sure you fry them when you have time and fry for the second time before using too.
