Dear Shalini-Mhave!

It was indeed wonderful to find not only your recipe, but also a picture of your ever radiant self on the website, which I found thanks to Jagdishanna’s email. Looking forward to the publication of the new version of your lovely cookbook!! We all -friends and family – loved the “instant” Avalya Nonche we made using your recipe. May God bless US with many, many more years of YOUR continuing good health and may we all continue to benefit from your vast storehouse of practical knowledge and wisdom that you so lovingly share with one and all!

Love,
-Arvind Shenoi

PS: In response to SATISH RAMA NAYAK’s post of the 26th January, ’09, I have this to share:

I have yet to come across a single non-GSB person [and we have people from really diverse cultures and religions attending our GSB functions in Mumbai–including weddings and sarvajanik festivals/Mahotsavs] who has not relished “Chanya ani Kajubiye Madgane” and lots of other dishes such as Patoli, Kadge Chakko, Kajubi ani Tendlya Upkari and dozens of other GSB dishes. Am truly surprised Satish, that you feel this way. Invariably, I have found people of other cultures, of both Hindu AND Non-Hindu backgrounds, genuinely find quite a few of our GSB dishes delightfully different, and keep coming back for more! Perhaps Satish, you should try sharing our dishes with a larger number of your friends from other cultures before arriving at such profound conclusions. Try it with this particular recipe to begin with!!!
…Am confident you will be surprised when you do. Regards, Arvind.

Hi everyone

Thanks for the encouraging response to the first recipe.

My mummy advices that for diabetics one can prepare Madagane without jaggery. Add sugar-free as per taste after preparing.

Respected Shalini Maai,

It was wonderful reading your recipe. Although been a finance person, I love to cook a lot & when I saw that it is my friend Abhay’s ammas receipe, it was a double delight. I had already tried this receipe once. But now I think I have the perfect receipe.

With lot of love,

Vijay Ghosalkar
