Eggless Dumroot/ Dummadai / Rava Adai

I've already shared the recipe of the famous  Dumroot/ Dummadai / Rava Adai almost five years back in my blog. After receiving  a request for the eggless version of the Sweet.... thought of what could be the substitute to the eggs as this is completely an egg based sweet. Then I remembered the basboosa recipe where yogurt is used in the recipe and no eggs... but my preparation method of Dummadai didnt suit it.... Seeked the help of my friend who has shared a couple of recipes in my blog. She gave me her recipe and I substituted the eggs instead and used yogurt.. the recipe was a success and  here I give you the Eggless Dummadai / Rava  Adai
