Adding more curd makes the dough watery and you need to add more and more flour. So be careful while adding curd.
Use ripe banana to get better buns.
Add cooking soda at last, so that it does not take much oil.
Add little flour if the dough is very soft and watery.
Roll the buns little thicker than poori
Fry them on medium flame to get fluffy buns.
