Dear Manjulaaunti,
I love your website and it teaches us how to cook and your receipes are very simple. I tried making Gulab Jambun and it turned out really awsome. I could not wait to try it. Do you have receipe for khaman Dhokla? I make mine from a gitts packets. Please, download receipe for khaman or khaman dhokla. I would appreciate your help. I love watching you cook.
Thank you,
