Notes

  • Rava gives crispiness to pudla
  • Besan enhance taste of pudla
  • The crispy and lacy (jalidar) pattern of pudla is due to moisture (water content) in the batter
  • The consistency of the batter should be thin and runny.
  • Heat tawa on high heat and also grease it with oil for the lacy (jalidar) pattern of pudla
  • Cook pudla on low-medium flame. do not cook it on high flame.
