  3. Wow didi, this is my favourite! I think the hyderabad bandi valas even add some tamarind based stuff sometimes.
    YUmmm, and very nicely explained for people like me who are ever confused about how much water to add, I can do this one blindly since you've given precise proportions, yippee!

    I didn't think of posting this recipe when I first started making them. This one was like a trial version so thought of adding pictures the next time I prepare it, but they came out well. so took a pic and posted it:) I will add other pictures soon.

    @ vinni, there are many variations for stuffing it seems. I was told about the tamarind stuffing too...I will try to get the recipe too.
