Kavi, in the ingredients u didn’t mention the quantity of sugar…Do we need to add 3 pinches of sugar or more sugar ?
Have a great day
Thanks shan, i fixed my mistake….u can add sugar howmuch u required…ghee is must & it enhances the taste…try it & let me know..
Yes Sugan, just mix with dhals. It’s my favorite,pa. Ghee is must for this recipe. It Smells and tastes good with ghee.
Can we just mix jaggery…Kavi?. I was thinking its a lengthy procedure. Looks so easy…and you didn’t mention more of ghee, too. So, very healthy…
