Thanks for the recipe. I
Thanks for the recipe. I did a little variation. I added pudina leaves, coriander leaves, green chillies and a piece of ginger. Made a coarse paste adding salt. Then put oil in a non stick kadai and put the purnam and fried it till the water evaporates. And put the stuffing in the maida covering. Thanks.
