Notes
Tips/notes: 1. If the batter has too much of water then the sweet will drink a lot of oil. So be very careful while preparing the batter, adjust the consistency by adding extra Maida. Use Milk or water gradually to mix. Do not pour. 2. While frying if the outer layer breaks and separates do not panic that means you have added extra coconut or baking powder. Adjust by adding a tablespoon of maida and this will help to make the bondas in shape. 3. For 1.5 cups maida, a quarter cup of rice flour and a quarter cup of Rava add only recommended or less than half cup coconut.4. Do not add more than the recommended amount of ghee.
