Healthy Hints
Although this is a sweet dish, it is often served as a starter. At over 350 Calories a go, you might want to consider serving a smaller portion, and choosing a lower fat main course. Or you could experiment with less jaggery, half the amount of butter, and use skimmed milk instead of evaporated milk.
