  5. hi shilpa,
    my grandma used to make this and I was wondering how to source it now. I made an addition to this – added some haladi (turmeric) after adding the paste to the boiling moogh. And also added some cashews. It was simply delicious. Took me back to my childhood years. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
