I did get some but they were not up to the expectations of the ones that I had eaten. Just some time back I got this recipe from a person who is a Nepali and I tired it. Wow!! this was the perfect recipe that I was looking for from such a long time and finally I got it. I prepared these so many times its a wonderful snack that anyone will love to eat.
