Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup coco powder

    1. Hi Sandiya....I think 1 cup all purpose flour is 125 grams..so 1 and cup would be near about 185-195 grams.....if you are using pressure cooker then put it on high heat for first 10 minutes and rest on medium-low flame for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
