Recipe Notes

in low to medium flame n make the chekkalu thin…so that it quickly become crispy

The dough should be kneaded for some time…not like our regular atta

Don’t rest the dough…when kneading done immidiately start flattening the dumplings and deep fry it

If after some time you feel the dough is little dry…you can add a spoon full of water to make it right consistency
