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
