• SOUTH vs NORTH CHALLENGE MAIN PAGE
• CHALLENGE BY SOUTH TEAM – Sowmya – Kambu Dosai
• CHALLENGE BY NORTH TEAM – Santhosh Bangar – Mawa Gujiya 

As I am from southern team, so have to prepare the mawa gujiya. We used to taste the gujiya from local bakeries here. But after sometimes, I really dislike the gujiya which was really bad in taste. So we did not buy it again. After seeing the gujiya, I tempted to taste it and no further delay, I prepared it and it came out really very well.

In my place, ready-made khoya is demand and not enough time patience to make it at home, so I prepared instant mawa using milk powder and continue the process and it really tasted awesome.  

I also post the recipe for Let’s Brunch on Sunday which is conducted by +Priya  and +veena akka on every 2^nd and 4^th Sunday.

• Place enough filling on center of the dough and apply the sealing on one side of the circle.
