This year Christmas is going to be filled with traditional sweets at our home. Those who have been following Hilda’s Touch of Spice closely must have taken notice by now…I hope you enjoyed making the Special Traditional Goan Sweets – Baath Cake (Semolina & Coconut Cake), Neurios(Crescents filled with fresh Coconut & Goa Pyramid Jaggery), Neurios (SweetPuffs with Dessicated Coconut),Kulkuls, Kormolas, Roce Cookies, Bolinhas (Goan cookies/biscuits), RichChristmas Fruit Cake as much as I did.. I know these were laborious & time consuming but it’s good to keep the tradition alive & bring in the traditional Christmas spirit.
