Pears In Almond Sauce by Sangeeta on Aug 21, 2011
Pears are flavorless,can goes well with anything like apple,so just tried it with almond sauce,can be consumed during fasting also.....as I think we need a compact diet,less of fat,more protein,fibre and calorie .......as we don"t take regular 4-5 meals during fasting...good option for Janamashtami....can be served with sago or sama khichdi,any farali puri too:)
- Cook time:

- 1/4 cup yogurt
