Keep up the artistry. <em>And boy am I glad it is, Mallika! It was wonderful to finally be able to open the windows in the afternoon without freezing every inch of body. </em> Hey Meena, spring is certainly in the air and what a wonderful story.

Just read your prose, look at your pictures and taste your dishes (though I haven't I don't doubt they're delicious!). Now if that's not a food artisit, I don't know what is. :) Yup, that you are!

If I can find the ingredients, I will have to try it for myself. I enjoyed your story as well...I like the moniker, "food artist."

Folks without access to Indian grocery stores can look for this. Evaporated milk is however different from condensed milk which is a less-processed version with sugar in it. If I am not terribly mistaken, even condensed milk can be used for this recipe. Just adjust the quanity so that it does not get too soggy or too sweet. <em>Thanks for your insight B, I'm sure it would helps many who can't find khoya anywhere.</em> Khoya/Mawa is essentially Evaporated Milk.
