Recipe for Mommy-in-law’s Moogachem Godshem
The way to a Mom-in-law's Heart is to ensure that her Son is Fed well And the way to a Husband's Heart is to cook his Mom's specialties every once in a while.. and if you manage to nail both… Your life is Set 🙂 🙂I love the way my Mom-in-law makes Moogachem Godshem. It is her Son's(and my) favourite! I was to make this on my late Dad-in law's Birthday on 22nd April but I didn't have Moong then.. Better late than never Ithought.. My First attempt… I wish I could have taken a video of my Bitter Better’s reaction! It was plain P.R.E.C.I.O.U.S!This particular sweet is a Traditional Goan sweet. Some call it Conn, some say Chirgeacheam godshem or Chinge. It is usually had as an Evening snack. Here's my Mommy-in-law's recipe. It's so Easy Peasy and so Delicious! Do give it a try!
