I tried this recipe today. It''s very delicious and very easy to prepare. Kids loved it.
This looks absolutely delicious. But why do we need half slice bread crumbs. Can we omit that, or substitute with something else like khoa? Thanks Asra
easy to make. I tried this 3 days back, I got appreciation from my cousins. I also used pista flakes and lotus seeds ( makhana ) with poppy seeds ( khuskhus, soaked, ground to a fine paste )
