Notes

Note-
  1. Use fresh aloe vera leaves to make aloe vera gel ,don't use the ready made aloe vera gel available in the market.
  2. Be careful while choosing aloe vera as all  aloe vera varieties are not edible.There are many types of aloe vera available,many varieties are bitter in taste so not advisable to consume.
  3. Sweet variety of aloe vera is dark and bright in colour and have less thorns and have shiny transparent Gel inside, so use only the sweet variety of aloe vera to make these namak pare or any food recipe .Do Taste a piece of aloe vera before making pulp .
  4. You can use whole cumin or carom depends on your taste preference ,or grind and use the powder for the fussy eater of your family.
  5. Can use Refined flour instead of wheat flour.
