ABOUT Spicy Acrote RECIPE

Spicy Acrote is a traditional Mangalorean dessert. It's very tasty, healthy and very useful in monsoon season. It's just from my childhood memories. I had it about 30 years back, even I remember the flavor of that, but I couldn't reach that taste, anyhow I got satisfaction with the love of my family members. All the four had these lip smacking tasty and simple Acrote.
