Fajeto ( Gujarati Recipe)

The famous gujarati ‘ras-puri’ meal is incomplete without fajeto! fajeto cannot be classified as kadhi, dal or subzi… it is a class apart from any other recipe. What else can you expect from a classical preparation of mango juice cooked together with curds, besan and select spices? despite its unique charm and magical taste, fajeto is surprisingly quite light on the stomach!

So Delicious for Gujaraties like us. Tried & Enjoyed . From Surat, Gujarat
I think the person in this video is gping too fast. She should slow down her pace.Besides the digital version of the recipe lists jaggery and besan as ingredients but completely misses out in adding that step in the process explaining the besan curd mixture should include jaggery and besan. My request when you upload a recipe make sure it includes details.
