Notes

  • After cooking the corn, it is necessary to strain. Otherwise the stuffing turns watery.
  • You can include the spices of your choice to the stuffing to adapt the same to your taste.
  • Keep the rice flour balls covered in damp cloth till you finish making these kadubu. It helps the balls to be moist and soft.
  • You can trim the edge after folding and sealing the dough over stuffing in half circular manner.
