Hi Soniya,
The dough came out very soft and watery. How do I fix it? Please help!!

Soniya Saluja says
Hello Sravanthi,
I guess the reason could be the water in the zucchini, add some more rice flour .
while making them next time try to squeeze out as much water as you can its mentioned in the notes.
Hope it helps .
Thanks
