- To make the dry fruit mix, combine all dry fruits and sprinkle them with one tablespoon of flour.
- In three parts, add the dry mix to the wet mixture, stirring softly after each addition and making sure the batter is smooth.
- If the batter's too dry, add a few tablespoons of milk to modify the consistency.
