Belated Ganesh Chaturti wishes to all of you. I wanted to post this recipe yesterday but then I got so held up with the pooja and other preparations, that I could not even go within two meters of my laptop's radius leave alone post anything. Even though today was a busy day, I was determined to make this post and I am glad that I am doing this before going to bed.
This recipe of Kargadubu is from my grand mother. As far as I am concerned, her Kadubus are the best in the world. They have a very light, flaky pastry like consistency. A big hug and thank you to Ajji for passing on this lovely recipe to me. You try making these "melt in the mouth" once and I am sure you will not make kadubus any other way.
