I need to tell you about how I got this Dessert. I had this for first time at my cousin Nafisa’s place. My first impression was, “what am I getting into”. Because this dessert was looking just like ‘tamarind paste’. By now you might have noticed, I am such a sweet-a-holic. I wanted it to give it a try any way. When I tasted it, I really Liked it. From then it became my favorite. I would like to thank Nafisa for introducing me to Khubani.
You guessed it right. When ever I make Khubani, My Family and friends love it. I hope you do feel the same after giving it a try.
