Re: Mithai- How To's
I only know 1 "How To" of methie and that is How to eat it :)
Re: Mithai- How To’s
SGC , I can comfortably make Gulab Jamuns at home … yeah thats about all :no:
I have tried making jalebi twice .. both times it was good , but not as good as the desi shop ki mithai .
I also tried making Laddoo at home , the experiment was good.. perhaps if i make these things a few more times i will attain perfection .. but really desi mithai is hard work .. they are hard to make first time .. you got to practice tonns …
