Notes

Punugulu with idli batter:
For 1 cup of idli batter:
Take the leftover idli batter.
Into it add salt if not added earlier.
Into it add 1 tablespoon maida, 1 tablespoon rice flour, mix well.
Also add finely chopped green chillies, onions, coriander leaves, cumin seeds and mix everything well.
We can also make the batter without adding maida and rice flour, but, if the batter is runny and to make it a bit thick we add maida and rice flour.
Make very small dumplings and deep fry them.
