A quicker way would be to add 1/2 cup of rice flour to 1/2 cup of whole wheat atta and proceed the same way – this is faster and does not need long soaking time to grind parboiled rice; – mashed banana can be added and the batter left to rest for a 1/2 hour before cooking in the mould – because of the atta, this needs less banana than the original recipe.
