Notes
- If you have whole ragi grains, then first powder them, then measure.
- Brown sugar should be measured only after powdering.
- Walnuts are added while shifting so that they get coated with flour. This way they don't sink in the batter.
- If you don't have steel katoris, use any utensils which can be put to steamer.
- Instead of small portions, this batter can be made as a complete 1 big cake.
