Rulan Musket, the perfect sweet with a Ginger Tea
Musket (also spelled as Muscat) is a popular sweet in Sri Lanka but many do not know about Rulan Musket which is made from Semolina Flour. In this recipe, we are using Ghee for the Oil and Turmeric for coloring. The reason we use Ghee instead of Coconut or Vegetable Oil is because it improves the taste and texture of the Musket. This type of musket is very easy to make in about 1 hour and doesn't require many ingredients.
