When it's a special festival like Rakshabandhan, we all rush to make delicious desserts which will make our brothers happy. My quest is to make it a healthy Rakshabandhan treat and cook a no oil/ no ghee recipe which can be both fun to make and eat. I have made mava Stuffed plum Gulab jamun which are delicious and give a sweet and Tangy Plum and Rose flavour. Try it out and let me know in the comments. Plums are rich in vitamin C, vitamin K , Fiber and ant they carry anti ageing properties too. #FA #festival #august
