This is the second year of my marriage. Last year I was a helper to my Mom in law for making all the bakshnams (variety of dishes for festivals). Not this year. I really wanted to learn. So yesterday when I was at amma’s place I decided to try out the most important dish for the next upcoming festival which is Gokulashtami or Krishna Jayanthi; it was the seedai.
I have decided to share my experiences and the tips I gained with others so that anyone trying it new will find it useful.
