Hi can i make it without the pista essence . I have not been able to find it . I have been to tArget , kroger , meijer , walmart, no one has it.
Hi Dharshi!!!!
You can make it with any flavor (Essence), like vanilla Essence, Almond essence, orange essence, rose essence, which ever is available. In fact, you can make it without any kind of essence. Just add Saffron and Cardamom(Elaichi) powder instead of essence. It will taste as good as any other essence. 🙂
Thanks.
