Homemade Nuggets : Nutritious and Tasteful

It is perhaps not known abroad. I don't expect it to be found in western countries surely. But who knows you might see it where you least expect to see . The edible item in the pic is known as 'bori' in our state. But its larger version is also called by a masculine name 'bora' in certain quarters. To prepare this nugget you need just black dal and white gourd ,(benincasa hipsida). The gourd is all known as wax gourd or ash gourd. The dal is crushed into powder and the gourd is crushed into paste. They are mixed well. Then they are placed on a clean sheet of cloth in little drops with the help of fingers. Then they are kept in the sunlight for drying. It's important to dry them hard so that no moisture remains in the nuggets. Nuggets are usually mixed with other vegetables and cooked with spices. These nuggets are nutritious and tasteful. They are also sold in grocers' shops but home made ones are somehow tastier.
