Sunday without sweet is LIKE well without water 😉 Ha Ha I know not a good metaphor.
But seriously in Gujju families who savour sweets daily; what next and new to cook everyday is a challenge. At my home sweet is must for lunch and dinner. You wont believe if there is no sweet cooked, people will eat jaggery with ghee to make it whole. Parents believe sweet without food is half meal served!!
Here is one simple recipe to relish with family and friends.
DOUBLE KA MEETHA
This Indian Bread pudding is a specialty of Hyderabad and the name of which would many who have had it, drool like crazy. It is an immensely rich dessert and worthy of special occasions. Of course you can make it any other time too if you look like or if you are a believer that “Weighing Scales are not a reflection of you” 😉
I tasted this sweet say in 90’s long back; cooked by my best friends’s mom. As she is from Hyderabad and this sweet dish is very famous there.
