Can I make a gluten-free version of Meethe Gulgule?
Yes, you can make a gluten-free version of Meethe Gulgule by substituting the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend, such as almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly, but it should still be delicious!
What is the best way to store leftover Meethe Gulgule?
To store leftover Meethe Gulgule, allow them to cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm them in an oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness.

What can I use instead of jaggery in the Meethe Gulgule recipe?
