SINDHI LOLA (Wheat flour based thick bread authentic sindhi style.)

Thadri is a Sindhi festival , which falls in the month of August, just a day before Janamashtmi. 

And , LOLA is a mandatory food that is prepared for this festival. We sindhi people make all the food a day prior , and eat the next day -which includes the delicious lola too. 

Lola is a sindhi thick sweet bread made with wheat flour , ghee and few aromats. This is a favorite of every sindhi - and yes we hardly get to eat it hot because during the festival we make a day prior and are only allowed to devour the next morning.

It is an amazing sindhi sweet preparation that we follow since ages and would love to pass it on to the next generation too.
