hi Krishnaveni
I tried this recipe, but my capsicums don't get covered fully in the batter.Should I use very small capsicums??Please suggest something , coz I love this Bonda.
@Anonymous,
Either you have to use small capsicums or you have to prepare little more batter so that you can dip and turn the capsicum all around. :)
Very nice will try it.
