My Notes:
- If you don’t have have all the flours,you can eliminate it. Besan/gram flour along with wheat and rice flour you can prepare this but you’ll be compromising with taste.
- You can dry roast cumin seeds,coriander seeds along with peanuts.Crush it using mortar and pestle and add to the flour.
