This pseudo "Qubani ka meetha" of yours does not even come close to the ORIGINAL Qubani ka meetha from the heartland of Hyderabad. I grew up in Hyd and never saw this pseudo style meetha in any marriage/function, and that too with Chikki! Come on...please don't insult the real Qubani ka meetha which is actually topped with rich cream...not with chikki(peanuts)!<br /><br />Original HyderabadiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-90478158808992044802008-11-26T11:04:00.000+05:302008-11-26T11:04:00.000+05:30Lubna, lucky you!

Better candied than plain, I think, when it comes to walnuts. And about Q ... most people think it's Qurbani, from what I've seen.<BR/>Sharmi, I'm jealous that you ate DKM. And I've never had mascarpone by itself (must have eaten it as a part of tiramisu) so I don't know what it tastes like.<BR/>N33ma, thanks.<BR/>Sunshinemom, that song's been playing in my mind ever since I did this post - think I'll visit YouTube now.
