Hi aarthi. It looks good but my question is, how can u make another sarva pindi,?? when the tawa is hot. When u put ur first one, it would not be hot ofcourse, so that u can apply the dough and put holes on it. pls reply
Lavanya
You must use two pans
It’s a Telangana old traditional dish
And you can use heavy bottom cookware like old style utensils
