it's not easy to write a review for this b/c honestly i've never made it before this time and never eaten it either - but we had a dinner guest from India so i tried it. He said that it was good but not as sweet as he is use to - which is surprising considering it contains a pound of sugar - but anyways, he is also used to it having ground almonds - which sounds nice to try next time. he said he'd give it an 8 out of 10 - which is naturally a 4 out of 5 with this system - so that's pretty good! i didn't have ghee so i used clarified butter (homemade version)
