Parwal Ki Mithai

I made it last week, but just today while having it, I thought to writing this on my blog. Although this sweet is popularly available in sweet shops throughout kolkata, I don't know why I wasn’t able to find it, therefore thought of making it myself. And honestly it tasted better than the outside ones. just one thing I would like to mention please don’t through away the seeds of parwal, you can use it as an ingredient for a different recipe. I made sweet and sour veg tarts out of it. You can try it too (here's the link: https://simplyritu.blogspot.in/2016/07/sweet-and-sour-veg-tarts.html ). enjoy your self made delicacy. I garnished it with some flowers i found in my backyard. looks good isnt it?
