Notes

  • The Shankarpali dough should be stiff or tight, but if your dough is too much tight and you cant roll it that time add 1 tsp of milk. 
  • Always fry on low to medium flame otherwise Shankarpali will not cook from inside.
  • To make more healthy, you can use wheat flour instead of refined flour.
