You can also use bajji mix instead of using the besan, rice flour etc.
Heat oil in a kadai, to check the heat drop little bit of the batter into the hot oil, the batter will come to the surface immediately.
Reduce the flame now to medium and take a little batter and drop it into the oil. No need to make any balls or any shape as this pakoda is shapeless. Fry until golden brown and remove from the oil
Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
