    Mrs.C, the picture itself seems to be so tempting..cant wait until krishna jayanthi.

    Want to make sure abt adding vellam directly in the milk(no curdle will happen) ?

    Thanks once again.

    Dear Ami,
    Do not allow the mixture to boil after jaggery & sugar are added. Just simmer so that thei will dissove & blend with the mixture. Boiling only will create curdling.
    This is one of my yummiest recipes, I guarantee you !
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Sowmya,
    The "nomenclature" in each MW oven varies. Some give power level in no:s which I have given in brakets. In mine there are 6 horizontal lines. For med, I keep in 4 & for lo in 2 lines.
    Love,
    Chithra.
