Make lemon size balls of the batter. Expand the batter with a rolling pin to about the size of a 5 inch diameter circle.

Put the stuffing ball in this and now, bring the ends of the batter together to as to cover the poornam. At the top where you join all the ends, there may be some extra batter, remove it and seal the stuffing well into the batter.
