- Tips: Tastes best with green chilli sauce or dhaniya- pudina chutney.
- Lightly smear some oil on your palms, so the mixture does not stick to your hands.
- Use healthy oil like rice- bran, virgin olive or canola oil
- After frying, always throw away the oil and never reuse fried oil- which becomes unhealthy for the heart.
