Chellu again attempted her chocolate ladoos with a twist . She added a cashew powder to the mixture and also studded them with a whole cashew.

March 31, 2016- Gulab Jamuns

Chellu attempted Gulab Jamuns pretty much by herself. Her estimate and final result with the sugar syrup , mixing the dough and making balls were simply perfect!! I pitched and supervised with the frying ...Infact the balls I had rolled were much worse. Hers were nearly perfect. She also made the sugar syrup twice. We were also duly helped by Shreedhari who helped in transferring the Gulab jamun balls to the sugar syrup after patting down the oil on a paper towel. So proud of this girl!!
