Notes

  • The moisture in onion and corn is enough make the dough. If you find the dough as loose, add some more gram flour and mix.
  • Let the dough be of stiff consistency otherwise it will drink lots of oil.
  • To check the oil temperature, drop a pinch of dough in to oil. If it raises to top immediately, then the oil temperature is perfect.
  • Adjust the spice according to your preference.
