Tips for Best Results
Do not let the dough cool completely before kneading. Warm dough gives better binding.
Chop moringa leaves finely so they mix evenly.
For children, reduce or avoid green chilli.
For a stronger South Indian flavour, add finely chopped onion, curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida.
If the dough breaks while shaping, sprinkle a little warm water and knead again.
Storage
Best served fresh and hot. If needed, the dough can be prepared and refrigerated for a few hours, then shaped and cooked before serving.
