  • vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Add besan, rice flour, carom seeds, baking soda, red chilli powder and salt in a bowl.

  5. Remove from the pan, drain the excess oil.

Make sure to check if oil is ready. You can check by dropping a small ball of the batter in the hot oil and if it immediately comes on top immediately, oil is ready for deep frying.
