Hi Aarthi, many many congratulations for this wonderful recipe.. Tried it today since Christmas is fast approaching... M so happy with the result.. The only thing i did was add a lil powdered sugar coz i love sweets.. Can u please tell me at what stage does the sugar need to be added... Coz i added it while pulsing it.
