Equipment
- Heavy Bottomed Pan
- Mixer Grinder
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Adai Batter
- 1 tablespoon Rice Flour
- 1 Onion Finely chopped
- 2 Green Chili Chopped
- 1 tablespoon Coriander Leaves
- 1 tablespoon Cashews
- 2 Cups Oil For Deep Frying
Instructions
Preparing Kunukku Batter
- Take the adai batter In a mixing bowl. To the batter, add rice flour and give a good mix. Rice flour thickens the batter and also makes the fritter crispy
- Now to the batter, add chopped inions, green chili, coriander leaves and cashews. Mix the batter well. Adjust the salt if needed. The adai batter would have got salt already so, its better to taste and adjust. Now our kunukku batter is ready
Deep Frying Process
- Heat oil in a pan. Check the readiness of the oil by dropping a pinch of batter in hot oil and check to see if it rises immeditealy.
- Once the oil is hot, using a spoon, or clean hands, we can take small quantity of the kunukku batter and gently drop in oil. We don't need to shape the kunukku. It will be in random shape like pakoda.
- Deep fry the kunukku till it becomes golden brown and crispy. Take the fried kunukku out of the oil and place in paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Serve the hot and crispy Adai Mavu Kunukku with Coconut Chutney or Ketchup and enjoy the delicious snack!
Notes
- We can make the fritter with Idli batter too.
- Instead of green chili we can add crushed peppercorns
- We use rice flour to make the batter thick. But we can use sooji instead of rice flour
