Notes

1. Make all the balls first and then go for deep fry. This will allow the balls to dry in the air for some time.

2. If the mixture becomes very dry and if you are not able to make a ball, then you can sprinkle little water on it and make the balls. If you add more water, then it will create a problem when you put the ball in the oil.
