Ingredients
  1. Raw rice   1 cup
  2. Par boiled rice   3 tbsp
  3. Urad dal   1/2 cup
  4. Sago/Javarisi    1 tbsp

  9. Curry leaves    few(finely chopped)
  10. coriander leaves    3 tbsp(finely chopped)
  11. Salt     to taste
  12. Oil    for deep frying.
Method


  • Soak rice ,dal n sago together for 1-2 hours and grind to little thick batter(like idly batter).
  • Then transfer the batter to a bowl and add all other finely chopped ingredients,salt n mix all together.
  • Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying,when it gets hot just drop lil' batter using hand or spoon and fry till turns crisp n golden brown.
  • Once done remove from the oil ,drain it in paper towel and serve hot with any spicy chutney/sauce. Enjoy hot :)

Note:
If you don't have par boiled rice just add 3/4 cup urad dal n other ingredients as such n try .
You can also add mustard,urad dal seasoning to the batter n deep fry them.
