Issue and Steps to Reproduce

My friend fund channel to me with short satoshi. And now I want to send money via ln, but the amount which he funded on channel is so short(like 10 satoshi) that I can't send enough money I want (like 100 satoshi). Is it possible to add funds to existing(opening) channel? If possible, how can I do it?

lightning-cli fundchannel <my friend's node> 1037185 -> { "code" : -1, "message" : "Peer already CHANNELD_NORMAL" }
