Notes

This is the traditional recipe as made in my family. Ganga jal should be one of the five ingredients but since I live in the US and don't have access to Ganga Jal, I use both sugar and honey to make up the five ingredients. If you have Ganga Jal put a spoonful of it. I just add a few drops of ghee as it floats on top(being lighter than milk). Adding nuts,saffron,chironji is optional.
