Prepare batter

  • After 1 hour, drain water from soaked urad dal and take it to mixer jar.
  • Grind the urad dal to a thick paste.
  • Take the urad dal paste to the vessel. Add rice flour, pinch of salt and mix well. Add water if necessary to make it to a thick paste.

Deep Frying

  • Deep fry the sugiyan in medium flame till they are crispy.
  • The crispy and delicious sugiyan is all ready for neivedhyam or serving!
