This is a special dish which my Grandmother used to prepare on the day of Ugadhi. I still remember the authentic taste of gojju prepared by my grandmother.This recipe of gojju is tangy,spicy,little bitter and slightly sweet.This dish is made so that all flavours sweet,sour,spice and bitter should be tasted on Ugadhi. Neemflowers mixed with jaggery is offered to God and given to all family members to eat before we have lunch.
