Achwani

Achwani for new born baby mother. I remember those days when I was in hospital n alina my new born baby girl was in my arms. My mother in law made this healthy recipe for me at that time.  I’ll talk a bit about “Achwani”, which is a healthy and nutritious sweet concoction of dry fruits taken with milk consumed by new mothers after giving birth.
