  • Whisk the batter for 2-3 minutes so it becomes light and fluffy.
  • An oil tadka enhances the taste of pudla.
  • The crispy and lacy (jalidar) pattern of pudla is due to the moisture (water content) in the batter.
  • The consistency of the batter should be medium and runny.
  • Heat the tawa on high heat and grease it with oil for a lacy (jalidar) pattern of pudla.
  • Lower the flame while spreading the batter. Cook the pudla on a medium flame.
  • Do not cook it on high flame.
