Thank you so much for this cooking for krishna service and recipies!! Can we use ghee instead of veg oil in this recipe? and where may we get cocoa or applecause?
Thank you for the feedback and the questions! We passed along your questions to Rasa Krida devi dasi.
She said, "I wouldn't use ghee in baking ever because it has it's own very distinctive flavour which wouldn't work very well when baking sweet foods. You could use canola or sunflower oil. You can find applesauce in any grocery store, and try bulk food stores for carob/cocoa powder."
Nice video. Why white sugar though? Isn't Canada the land of maple syrup? Is it affordable there? Here its pretty much for the lifestyles of the rich and famous but occasionally we splurge.
good quality maple syrup is still a little expensive here, so I would probably save it for special occasions. Plus, the recipe would need to be adjusted a fair bit to account for the difference in sweetness, acidity, moisture, and caramelization temperature. If you'd like to try it though, just google 'baking with maple syrup' for details- and good luck!
For the record, I have to admit... we Canadians DO love our maple syrup!
