If by chance you don"t have quinoa flour,use oats powder .

6.

NOTE 2:
If you wish can add any veggies by chopping or grating it will add color n nutrient to the dish.

NOTE 3:
In place of Eno,one can use 1/2 teaspoon soda-bi-carb,but then you have to rest the batter covered for 15 min.

If you don"t have lotus seeds,then can avoid it or can replace it with any other nuts powder,cashew tastes nice.Or you can use coconut powder instead it.
