Paal Mittai is one more recipe I got from the cook book collection. During 2010, I got Chandra Padmanaban’s Southern Flavours for review and I loved all those authentic recipes. One such recipe was her Mother-in-law’s paal mittai / milk fudge. The recipe was so different from all the recipes I…

Paneer ladoo is an amazing sweet which is so easy to make. After making so many sweets for my daughter, I wanted to make another one for myself. Again I used just the amount of paneer I can have in a day to make these and they were yum. Hubby…
