Notes

  1. You can deep fry the mushroom-cabbage mix instead of steaming them.
  2. You can also use all-purpose flour instead of besan and rice flour for binder
  3. You can increase the chilli powder quantity if you want to spice up your dish.
  4. Note the difference of tbsp and tsp of the ingredients carefully while preparing :D
