Magas or Magaj is a traditional gujarati sweet prepared from coarse gram flour. This recipe has been passed on from generations in our family. In our house, or I should say in most of the gujarati households, this sweet is specially prepared on the occasion of Bol Choth. Bol Choth is a festival celebrated in Gujarat, on the previous day of Nag Panchami. On this day, any of the milk-based or dairy products are avoided. Basically, this fast is observed for the welfare of cattle, especially cows. Being abroad, I miss this sweet a lot as we don’t get coarse gram flour always. But I manage with regular besan. Country - Singapore
Perfect Gujarati dish.
