Dhuska is a very popular deep fried festive snack eaten all over Jharkhand region in the eastern zone of India. This is my aunt in law’s (Mami) recipe and I am truly grateful to her for sharing this treasure with my blog readers. Dhuska is made by soaking rice and lentil and then grinding it together into a smooth paste.It is then deep fried in Mustard oil.
