Dear Ritu
ReplyDeletewonderful recipe and the detailing .. I know it is a high skill job and one must keep doing to reach the perfection.
I will like to know more about the pura making process , the amount of sugar or Jagery you use per cup of coconut .. Even boiled muga dali pura for other pitha, dahi chhena pura .. I mean the pura ( fillings) of odisha is a big subject itself ..
