RECIPE NOTE :

When we make the maas wadi’s the stuffing should be made in advance.
Here in the stuffing we have used onion.It is completely optional for you to use the onions.
While assembling the maas wadi’s the covering batter should be hot i.e. it should be cooked just before making the wadi’s.
If the covering batter becomes cool then it will become difficult to make the maas wadi’s.
