Imli Candy-Canteen style
Imli Candy-Canteen style
This recipe brings to life so many pleasant memories from my School days. These Imli Candies were something I would purchase almost every day and would relish on them during recess and would also take some home to enjoy later. These Imli Candies had a balanced flavour of tangy, sweet and spicy that would always have you craving for more. I really miss having these Candies, so decided to prepare them at home. Believe me the taste is the same as the Imli Candies sold at the School Canteen, I am sure most 90s kids would remember. You are never too old to have these Imli Candies, so I would highly recommend you try them at home and reminisce the good old School days!
