Notes: 
  • You can use 1 cup of maida or 1 cup of wheat flour instead of 1/2 cup each of maida and wheat flour.
  • If you are pure vegetatrian, you can replace the egg with milk.
  • Instead of decicated coconut, you can use the greated coconut. Microwave grated coconut in high power for 2mins: and allow it to cool down complately before using.
