Notes

  • The jaggery syrup should be of soft ball consistency. If it is less, you may find difficulty in shaping ball.
  • The batter should be of dosa batter consistency. Otherwise the batter doesn't coat over paddy ball.
  • Check the oil temperature by dropping little batter in it. If it raises to the top, that is the right consistency.
