      I tried this today but it had a raw aftertaste and was of a slight brown tint. The taste is still nice though. Any suggestions why this could be?

      I tried d recipe. Taste was gud. But I think using jaggery syrup or jaggery powder wud give the same taste n reduce the efforts too. Since I tried it d first time jaggery did not harden n was sticky n cudnt b ground..again hd to heat it cool it n grind.. dat was lot of work.
