Phalada Company contacted me a month ago to collaborate with them on a product review please click here to see the post. I wanted to use all the products given to me eventually creating recipes. 

Nowadays I tend to track all the recipes created first attempt if it turns out prefect i post it. This recipe was my first attempt and surprisingly the pradhaman was perfect. 

I always wanted to try chia seeds, this was a very good opportunity for me to experiment and try new textures and taste. There is minimal amount of cooking, we may have to adjust the consistency according to taste. 

My mom has been enjoying all their products specially coconut oil and pepper powder, we highly recommend the products from Phalada. Phalada Products are available here or buy on Amazon, flipkart and Big Basket.
