  • Sieve the flour along with Baking powder and Baking soda. And then , fold in the flour little by little and blend until it marries all the ingredients. By now you should be getting layered swirls.

  • Add the curd and the left over flour and fold in to the batter by whisking again.
  • Wet the nuts/dry fruits slightly and roll them in plain flour, this avoids it from settling at the bottom of the dough while baking. Add them to the dough and give a gentle stir by using a spatula.
