Buchi/butsi is one of the native delicacies which I like to eat. My wife is interest of the recipe. I am hoping that she will make one for me.
I love buchi. I hope Daddy can make a perfect buchi 🙂
I've been trying to make a perfect butchi but failed. I remember, I made one with almost perfect finished product. I want to make another trial and hopefully a success.
Wow I love this! Buchi with a twist. I wanna try some. 🙂
I also love buchi. We used to get this from Chowking and Kungfu Kitchen whenever we dine there but I haven't tried making one from home. This recipe sounds easy and maybe worth trying.
Oh, I have never tried the fruity version and I have never tried to cook buchi myself. I'll try to cook this once I'm done with 21-day no junk food challenge.
This dish looks so palatable.
Thanks for the detailed recipe, hopefully I should give it a try soonish.
