Notes

Jaggery water and plain water that we use to make the dough that should be warm not hot water or cold water.
For Bajra flour / Sajja pindi, freshly grounded in the mixer will be a good choice other then store bought flour.
Since the fried pancakes will turn to dark brown colour, some add Sago while grinding the flour in the flour mil. It can't be ground when using our mixer jar.
