  1. Splendid. Thank you for the share. Got to try this with my own hands. But I do not believe it might have the similar consistency compared to that of famed hotels here in davangere. Especially the plain/kali dose which is absolutely fluff & oil-free. Kudos for the invention. I wonder who invented this cholesterol heart-stopper?
