Notes

  1. If you don’t have buttermilk, do not worry you can easily make at home. Take 1 cup of milk and add 1 tbsp of vinegar or lime juice, stir and keep for few mins and it is ready to use.
  2. You can use all purpose flour or 50-50 ratio of WWF and APF.
  3. You can use brown sugar or jaggery or cane sugar instead of granulated sugar. 
  4. You can use melted butter instead of oil.
