I tried this. Outside is brown n crispy but Inside remains raw. I fried in hot oil for at least 5 mins.
Fry them on medium flame so they are well cooked inside and out.
I have Airfryer .please post South Indian vegetarian recipes do with Airfryer.
I have personally not used airfryer. I will check and revert
