Notes

  • Instead of a Duck egg, you can use a normal poultry egg or organic egg.
  • You can skip both coconut and yogurt or can use either of these.
  • Posto bata aka Poppy seed paste is also optional however, Dim Posto bhapa is a must-have if you like posto!
  • Instead of mustard paste, Kashundi can also be used to make bhapa.
