Recipe Notes
  • You can make it only with wheat flour, without adding rice flour.
  • You can replace the rice flour with maida.
  • I have used shredded coconut, you can fry the shredded in ghee or use finely chopped fresh coconut fried in ghee, it will be tastier than shredded coconut.
  • Baking soda is optional you can skip baking soda if you don't like it.
