Very interesting recipe , you say fried ratalu so do you deep fry and them add to mixture??? Can it be added just boiled and mashed??
jcookingodyssey says
interesting q Nayna...no you have to fry ratalu because boiled one gets too much slimy and batter goes very sticky, however you can omit ratalu if you want.
