Notes
- If the batter is too thin, it will not coat the filling. We can adjust by adding more gram flour.
- If the batter is too thick, outer cover will be so thick and it will dominate than the filling. Adjust by sprinkling water little.
- Adding Baking Soda is optional. Baking soda makes the bondages puff up a little but if you add baking soda, we have to finish the batter immediately. Do not keep the batter in refrigerator
- Serve with Coconut Chutney
