Notes
- Batter needs to be very thick. If batter isn't thick, on a standard waffle maker, the top will not get browned well.
- Depending on the batch of flour and weather, liquid required may vary, which is why the recipe asks for the reserve milk to be added gradually.
- If batter accidentally gets too thin, add more rice flour.
- Waffle can be reheated in the microwave for 8-10 seconds.
- Tapioca flour/starch is starch extracted from Cassava root. Cassava is called mara genasu in Kannada. More details in the write up above.
- To make a sweet version, skip the jalapeno and cheddar and use sugar instead. Serve with syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream.
- Rice flour can be replaced with glutinous rice flour.
- Any green chillies including green bell peppers/capsicum can be used instead of Jalapenos. If using spicy ones, use lesser than mentioned.
