Since haldiptra or turmeric leaves are not available in Newjersy.
Can you suggest anyother alternative for haldipatra.
Thanks for the recipe I have seen my mother and relatives exchanging all these pithas or sweetmeats during different festivals I was never aware of the recipes.
thaking you Sagarika
