The sweet I loved it
Lovely dessert.
This recipe is awesome...Made it on this raksha bandhan and everyone just loved it. Recipe is really easy to follow. Addition of fresh fruit makes this all time favourite sweet healthier. Lots of thanks to Tarla Mam for this recipe as it made my rakshabandhan very special this time.
This recipe is truly wonderful. Love the omission of fat and milk in it. It is really a snap to prepare and also delicious. Thanks, Tarla Dalal, for all your recipes.
