    • Reviews

  • “Mmmmmm! Like Varsha, I also decreased the sugar and butter a bit.I just used butter since I didn’t have ghee.I also added some coconut and raisins.This really hit the spot!”

  • “this would be worth 5* if not for the astronomical amount of ghee in the recipe. i reduced it drastically. i reduced the sugar by 1/4cup as well. it was not as rich but still very delicious.”
