how can a sweet be made without sugar or honey (which are high calorie ?)
using artificial sweeteners like (zero sugar) will make sweets taste not good

best way is eat all sweets and workout well

[pallavi]

may be u added more milk
other than some carrot juice and milk there\'s no other liquid here that can make it watery

[tara]

yeah 2 cups of milk not sure which size cup may be i took it wrong size :-) possible once i finish this i will try with less milk some time but it is okay other than water texture tastes good.
