Aflatoon is a baked sweet item with a similar look to a cake, although there is a gulf of difference between aflatoon and a cake. Due to the use of semolina and mawa, the taste and the aflatoon recipe are quite different from the cake. It is a healthy dessert recipe and as well a tasty, different cake recipe. Many people in Bangladesh, India, and the Middle East like aflatoon for its different flavors and taste.
The good thing about aflatoon is that you can preserve it for a few days and serve it to your children during breakfast or as a snack. It does not deteriorate at normal temperatures. Since its taste is enriched with mawa, butter, and sugar, a small quantity of aflatoon is suggested for those who are undergoing a weight loss program.
My friends, I want to share one thing with you, I tasted the homemade aflatoon first time at my neighbor’s home. I really liked that and it was delicious. I asked my neighbor “Would you please tell me the recipe?” Do you know what she answered? She told me that its process is too hard, it is not easy to make. I got the answer. But after a few days, I collected the recipe and I made this by myself. Today I am so happy that I have shared it all over the world. I love to cook and like to share it with others. I think cooking is an art. The same recipe can have different looks and tastes because it’s an art.
Friends, I will be happy if you make it and share it with your family and friends.
