    Hi Padhu…excellent recipe. Have a question though..can the sugar be substituted with jaggery? If yes, how and when to add it?

      Thank you for liking this recipe. You can substitute sugar with jaggery and follow the same method. You must keep these things in mind when adding jaggery.
      1. Avoid boiling the milk after adding jaggery as there are chances that the milk might curdle.
      2. Either the milk should be at room temperature or the jaggery syrup should be at room temperature. Never add the hot jaggery syrup to the hot milk or the hot milk to the jaggery syrup.

    Hi!
    I am a regular visitor to your site and almost swear by your recipes. Yesterday, I had a litmus test to pass. A few friends, who are quite finicky about food, had come over. I made Carrot Kheer and Baby Corn Masala from your recipe list. Apart from these I made Peas Paratha and Shahi Paneer. The dinner was a hit. I am relieved but above it all, I am very happy that I was able to pull off the recipes with ease. Im saying this because I learnt to cook after my wedding and do not have a lot of experience.

    So, a huge thanks to you and your blog. Thank you so much Padhu. Keep writing. Keep cooking. 🙂 🙂
