MAWA PISTACHIO BUNDT CAKE – EGGLESS RECIPE

     When i made this Gulab Jamuns using khoya I was searching for a recipe where khoya can be used. My search ended when i saw these cute mawa | khoya bundt cake in  US Masala blog and when i met Nags a few weeks back she gave me a bundt cake pan and i wanted to use that one. So for the first time i made a Eggless bundt cake with khoya and we all thoroughly enjoyed the taste and so as my friends too.
   Thanks for this wonderful recipe aipi.
