Notes

If you don't have urad dal flour on hand, you can grind and sieve urad dal and make your own!
Note: Eno is a fruit salt which is composed of basically 60% baking soda and 40% citric acid
1 tsp Eno = 1/2 tsp baking soda + 1/2 tsp citric acid
So you can substitute 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tsp citric acid if you do not have Eno. You can also try substituting the citric acid with lemon juice if you do not have citric acid.
