 Suggestion 

If the batter is too thin, then the dough will become flat, it will not rise. If the batter is too thick, then the pua will not become spongy, it will become solid. Be sure to whisk the solution well. Pueys can also be made with jaggery instead of sugar. Puas made of jaggery will look more red.
