  30. Hi,can i make and rice balls without adding milk. instead use just water .?

    ReplyDelete

    1. You can make but taste wise addition of milk will be better

  31. Hi, can i use only water (avoid the milk totally) to make the rice balls?

  32. Very good recipe. But it would be really helpful if you are a bit more careful while typing. You have asked to dissolve quarter cup jaggery in 2 tbsp of water. And also a few repetitions which makes it all the more confusing. For beginners, exact measurements of the ingredients will go a long way in honing their culinary skills. Please take extra care while typing. Otherwise you are doing an awesome job..keep up the good work!

    1. Hi priya, thanks for the comment . I don't find any confusion or typo in this recipe. Jaggery has to be dissolved in 2 tblsp of water only. As it dissolves it ooze out water, so if you add more water the mixture will be watery. Thanks for the compliments
